PCI Compliance
Tier3MD offers PCI compliance assistance (PCI Risk Assessment) to small business and medical practices that handle branded credit cards such as Visa, Master Card, American Express and Discover. We provide you with all the necessary reports and best practices to keep your credit card data safe.
The PCI Standard is mandated by the card brands and administered by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. The standard was created to increase controls around cardholder data to reduce credit card fraud. Validation of compliance is performed annually, either by an external source that creates a Report on Compliance (ROC) (for organizations handling large volumes of transactions), or by Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) for business and medical practices handling smaller volumes.
Requirements
The PCI Data Security Standard specifies twelve requirements for compliance, organized into six logically related groups called “control objectives”. Each version of PCI DSS has divided these twelve requirements into a number of sub-requirements differently, but the twelve high-level requirements have not changed since the inception of the standard.
