PCI DSS compliance
Reduce the cost and labor of annual PCI DSS compliance validation by partnering with Elavon.
The basics of PCI DSS compliance validation
While there are many aspects to data security, protecting your business from a data breach starts with a good foundation. Businesses that complete PCI DSS compliance validation have not only taken the first steps in guarding against a costly breach event, but also protect themselves from card brand non-compliance fines, fees, and assessments for forensic investigations, fraudulent purchases, and the cost of re-issuing cards. Current card brand regulations and certain state laws place more responsibility on businesses to protect account data.
A Closer Look at the Four Merchant PCI DSS Validation Levels
Every merchant, no matter how you accept payments, must submit specific validation documents based on your PCI Level. The Card Brands define four Levels, outlining the necessary documentation, responsibilities, and deadlines. As your acquirer, we'll keep you informed, notifying you when your business hits the Level 1-3 benchmarks. Stay ahead with us guiding you through each step of your compliance journey.
