PCI DSS is non-
negotiable
for payment processors

Any organization that processes, stores or transmits credit card data must comply with PCI DSS v4.0. Non-compliance means fines up to €500,000, card network access suspension, and reputational damage. Yet 60% of companies fail their initial audit.

Frequently asked questions

Do we really need all 12 requirements?
Yes. PCI DSS v4.0 specifies 12 requirements that all entities must follow. However, the scope depends on your role: whether you process, store or just transmit card data. We do a free scoping analysis to determine which requirements apply to your specific situation.
What happens if we fail a compliance audit?
Failing an audit triggers remediation requirements and increased scanning frequency. Continuing non-compliance leads to card network fines (€500K+) and potential loss of payment processing privileges. Our job is to ensure you pass on the first try through proactive security and documentation.
Can we do PCI DSS compliance ourselves?
Technically yes, but it's complex. 60% of businesses fail their initial audit. The requirements span network architecture, encryption, access control, monitoring and incident response. Most need external help. We bundle it all and manage it for you on NEXUS.
How much does PCI DSS compliance cost?
Costs depend on your transaction volume and whether you handle card data directly. For a small retail chain, expect €200-400/month for the full stack plus compliance reporting. For larger processors, pricing scales with infrastructure size. We provide exact quotes after a 20-minute scoping call.
