PCI DSS compliance in Orlando for every system that touches card data.

Who needs PCI DSS compliance
- Retailers, restaurants and hospitality businesses
- Medical, dental and professional offices that take card payments
- E-commerce and online booking businesses
- Service providers that store, process or transmit cardholder data
Why it matters
One standard. Every system that touches card data.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) applies to any business that accepts, stores, processes or transmits payment card data. Version 4.0.1 is the current standard, and every requirement in it has been mandatory since March 31, 2025.
Required by your card agreements
PCI DSS is enforced through the card brands and your payment processor. Your merchant agreement requires you to comply and to validate it every year.
Scope drives the work
Every device and network that can reach card data is in scope. Reducing where card data lives is often the fastest way to cut cost and effort.
Gaps carry real risk
A breach or failed validation can lead to fees from your processor, liability for fraud losses and, in serious cases, losing the ability to accept cards.

Questions
Common PCI DSS questions
Is PCI DSS a law?
No. It is a security standard set by the PCI Security Standards Council and enforced through your agreements with the card brands and your payment processor.
Which Self-Assessment Questionnaire do we need?
It depends on how you accept cards and your transaction volume. Your processor sets your validation requirements, and we help you identify the right SAQ and complete it.
If we use a payment processor, are we already compliant?
Using a validated processor reduces your scope, but it does not remove your responsibilities. Your network, devices, staff and website can all still be in scope.
Can Tech Hero sign off on our compliance?
Formal Reports on Compliance are completed by a Qualified Security Assessor. We prepare your environment, fix gaps and work alongside your assessor, and we support the self-assessment for businesses that qualify for one.
