Frequently Asked Questions
What changed in PCI DSS v4.0?
Key changes include the customized validation approach, targeted risk analysis, enhanced MFA for all CDE access, automated audit log review, and stricter e-commerce payment page protections. All future-dated requirements became mandatory March 31, 2025.
How can we reduce our PCI scope?
Network segmentation, tokenization, point-to-point encryption, and payment process redesign can dramatically reduce the number of systems in scope. PTG implements scope reduction strategies that lower both compliance cost and risk.
Which SAQ type applies to our business?
SAQ type depends on how you accept payments. SAQ A for fully outsourced e-commerce, SAQ B for standalone terminals, SAQ C for payment apps, SAQ D for all others. PTG helps determine the correct type and minimize scope.
Does PTG integrate PCI with other frameworks?
What are the penalties for non-compliance?
Card brands impose monthly fines of $5K-$100K. A breach while non-compliant can cost $1M+ in forensic investigation, card replacement, fraud liability, and litigation. Compliance investment is a fraction of breach exposure.
