PCI compliance, done by the team that runs your payments
PCI DSS 4.0 became mandatory in March 2025. Non-compliant merchants face escalating fines, elevated interchange fees, and potential loss of card-processing privileges. We help restaurants, hotels, airports, retail, and multi-location brands close the gaps and reduce their PCI scope.
What PCI DSS 4.0 means for your business
PCI DSS 4.0 introduced mandatory requirements for multi-factor authentication, stronger encryption, continuous monitoring, and rigorous network segmentation. Every business that accepts cards must comply, and the consequences of falling short are real: monthly fines that escalate over time, elevated interchange fees, and the possibility of losing the ability to process cards entirely. The cost of non-compliance far exceeds the cost of getting it right.
Our compliance approach
Gap Analysis
We audit your environment against every PCI DSS 4.0 requirement and deliver a prioritized remediation plan with timelines and costs.
Network Segmentation
We isolate your cardholder data environment with VLANs, firewall rules, and access controls built to satisfy assessors.
EMV Terminal Deployment
We deploy and configure EMV terminals (including PAX with P2PE) that take cardholder data out of your environment.
P2PE Implementation
Point-to-point encryption encrypts card data at the terminal so it is never decrypted in your environment, dramatically reducing your PCI scope.
Ongoing Compliance Support
Monitoring, annual assessment preparation, and remediation support to keep you compliant year after year.
Frequently asked questions
Is PCI DSS 4.0 mandatory for restaurants?
Yes. Any business that stores, processes, or transmits card data must comply with PCI DSS 4.0 as of March 31, 2025, including restaurants, bars, hotels, airports, and retail.
How does P2PE reduce my PCI scope?
P2PE encrypts card data at the terminal before it enters your network, so your systems never see unencrypted card data and many PCI requirements no longer apply to your environment.
How long does a compliance assessment take?
A typical gap analysis for a hospitality business takes 1 to 2 weeks. Remediation timelines depend on findings, terminal upgrades take days, network segmentation projects can take several weeks.
