What procedures do I need to follow to become PCI Compliant and to obtain a PCI DSS Certification?
PCI DSS Certification is a procedure implemented to perform a review of your data security practices. This procedure will review if you are currently processing credit cards using approved equipment, POS software and/or hosted Virtual Terminal under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) requirements. To initiate PCI DSS analysis, go to the following websites based on your processor and complete the preliminary questionnaire. This will then direct you to the appropriate PCI DSS Self-Assessment Questionnaire and a quarterly network scan if applicable.
