PCI-DSS Built Around Around Your Sector

PCI DSS applies wherever card payments happen, but the compliance level and complexity differ sharply by transaction volume and business model, and a high-volume e-commerce platform faces stricter requirements than a small retail counter.

We scope your PCI DSS compliance level around your actual transaction volume and payment architecture.

Finance

We help financial institutions processing card transactions meet the highest PCI DSS compliance levels.

Healthcare

We help healthcare providers accepting card payments for services meet PCI DSS without disrupting patient billing.

Legal

We help legal firms accepting card payments for retainers or fees meet baseline PCI DSS requirements.

Retail & E-Commerce

We help retail and e-commerce businesses reduce PCI DSS scope through proper payment gateway architecture.

- Why AWJ Tech

What Our PCI-DSS Compliance Service Delivers

PCI DSS support from AWJ Tech reduces both your compliance burden and your actual card data risk.

Scope Reduction Strategy

We help redesign payment flows to minimize the systems that fall under PCI DSS scope.

Cardholder Data Environment Mapping

We map exactly where card data lives, moves, and is stored across your business.

Network Segmentation

We implement segmentation that isolates payment systems from the rest of your network.

SAQ Guidance

We help determine and complete the correct Self-Assessment Questionnaire for your business.

QSA Audit Preparation

We prepare Level 1 merchants for formal Qualified Security Assessor audits.

Vulnerability Scanning Support

We support the quarterly vulnerability scanning PCI DSS requires.

Policy Documentation

We develop the security policies PCI DSS requires for handling card data.

Vendor Compliance Review

We review payment vendors and processors for their own PCI DSS compliance status.

Reduced Breach Liability

Proper compliance significantly reduces your liability exposure in the event of a card data incident.

A Card Data Breach Doesn't Just Cost You Fines. It Costs You the Ability to Accept Cards.

AWJ Tech Builds Compliance That Protects Both

Losing PCI DSS compliance after a breach can mean losing the ability to process card payments at all, not just facing a fine. AWJ Tech builds the controls that keep both your data and your payment capability intact.

- Common questions

What Clients Ask About PCI-DSS

Which PCI DSS compliance level applies to us?

Your level depends on annual transaction volume; we help determine this and the corresponding validation requirements.

Can we reduce our PCI DSS scope instead of securing everything?

Yes. Scope reduction through proper payment architecture is often the fastest path to compliance.

Do you conduct the formal QSA audit?

For Level 1 merchants requiring a QSA, we prepare you for the audit; the formal assessment is conducted by an accredited QSA.

How often does PCI DSS compliance need to be revalidated?

Annually, along with quarterly vulnerability scans for most merchant levels.

What's the latest version of PCI DSS we need to comply with?

PCI DSS v4.0.1 is the current version; we ensure your compliance program reflects the latest requirements.

Can this help if we use a third-party payment processor?

Yes. We review how your processor integration affects your scope and remaining compliance obligations.
