What is PCI-DSS?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is the set of security requirements for companies that process, store or transmit payment card data (Visa, Mastercard, Elo, American Express). Created by the card networks, it's mandatory for any online store or system that accepts cards.

Does PCI-DSS apply to WooCommerce stores?

Yes. Any WooCommerce that accepts card payments is subject to PCI-DSS, even using gateways like Mercado Pago, Cielo or Stripe. The required compliance level depends on annual transaction volume (Level 1 to 4). Using a certified gateway reduces but doesn't eliminate the responsibility.

What are the 12 PCI-DSS requirements?

The 12 requirements cover: secure network and firewalls, cardholder data protection, vulnerability management, access control, network monitoring, and information security policy. The current version PCI-DSS 4.0 (in force since March 2024) adds a focus on multi-factor authentication and customized risk analysis.

What is SAQ in the PCI-DSS context?

The Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) is the annual self-assessment form that most lower-volume merchants (Level 2, 3 and 4) use to attest compliance. There are different forms (SAQ-A, SAQ-A-EP, SAQ-D) depending on how card data flows through the system.

How does PCI-DSS 4.0 change the requirements for e-commerce?

PCI-DSS 4.0 requires an inventory script for third-party JavaScript code at checkout, multi-factor authentication for all administrative access, and a documented annual risk analysis. E-commerce sites that use analytics scripts or chatbots on the payment page need to review them.
