PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) v4.0 is a set of 12 requirements covering network security, cardholder data protection, vulnerability management, access control, monitoring and security policies. It is mandated by card brands (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, RuPay) for all merchants and service providers handling card data.
Organisations in Himachal Pradesh — especially across Shimla, Dharamshala, Solan and Mandi — increasingly face PCI DSS requirements from customers, auditors and regulators. We support pharmaceuticals, hydropower, tourism and horticulture with practical, audit-ready implementation, so you are ready for the certification body or assessor, not just the paperwork.

SAQ (Self-Assessment Questionnaire) is for smaller merchants and service providers. ROC (Report on Compliance) is required for Level 1 merchants and large service providers and must be completed by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA). We support both.
