FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions — Retail & E-Commerce Compliance in India
Does a small e-commerce business in India need PCI DSS compliance?
If you accept, process or transmit card data directly, PCI DSS applies regardless of size. Most small e-commerce businesses route payments through compliant payment gateways, reducing their PCI DSS scope significantly. We help you determine your scope and achieve the appropriate compliance level.
How does DPDP Act 2023 affect retail companies in India?
Retail companies collecting customer names, contact details, purchase history and payment information are Data Fiduciaries under DPDP Act 2023. They must implement consent mechanisms, honor data principal requests (access, correction, erasure) and notify breaches within prescribed timelines.
What security certifications do e-commerce marketplaces require from sellers?
Major platforms increasingly require sellers handling sensitive data to demonstrate PCI DSS compliance or ISO 27001 certification. For enterprise B2B contracts, SOC 2 reports are also commonly requested by procurement teams.
How long does PCI DSS certification take for a mid-size e-commerce company?
For a mid-size e-commerce company, PCI DSS assessment and remediation typically takes 3–6 months depending on scope complexity, existing controls and the level of assessment required (SAQ vs. full QSA assessment).
