PCI DSS
Take card payments without taking chances.
If your organisation accepts card payments, from donation pages to EFTPOS terminals, PCI DSS applies to you. We help you shrink the scope of what's in play, put the required technical controls in place and prepare the evidence for your self-assessment questionnaire or assessor, so compliance is manageable rather than overwhelming.

02 8883 3377Does PCI DSS apply if we use a payment provider?
Yes, although outsourcing payments usually reduces your obligations a great deal. Even with hosted payment pages or EFTPOS terminals, you'll typically complete a shorter self-assessment questionnaire each year.
Are you a QSA?
No. We're your technical partner: we implement and maintain the controls and prepare the evidence, while assessments are completed by you, your bank or an independent Qualified Security Assessor.
What changed with PCI DSS version 4?
Version 4 brought in requirements such as wider use of MFA, stronger password rules and controls on scripts in payment pages. Its future-dated requirements became mandatory on 31 March 2025, and version 4.0.1 is the release in force.
