Common PCI Compliance Challenges for Businesses 

Many businesses struggle with PCI DSS compliance due to complex security requirements and evolving cyber threats. Common challenges include:

  • Unsecured Payment Systems - Outdated point-of-sale (POS) systems, e-commerce platforms, and payment processors create vulnerabilities that cybercriminals exploit.

  • Failure to Encrypt Cardholder Data - PCI DSS requires businesses to encrypt payment data both in transit and at rest to prevent unauthorized access.

  • Lack of Network Security Measures - Businesses must have firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and access controls in place to block cyber threats.

  • Incomplete PCI Compliance Audits - PCI DSS mandates regular security assessments, quarterly vulnerability scans, and annual compliance audits.

  • Severe Penalties for Non-Compliance - Fines for non-compliant businesses can range from $5,000 to $100,000 per month, and data breaches can result in legal action and loss of payment processing privileges.

At Advent Technologies, we simplify PCI compliance by providing secure, fully managed solutions that keep businesses compliant, secure, and protected against payment fraud and cyber threats.

Why Businesses Choose Advent Technologies for PCI Compliance 

Our comprehensive PCI compliance services ensure that businesses achieve and maintain PCI DSS certification with:

  • PCI Compliance Assessments & Security Audits - Identify vulnerabilities and security gaps before they lead to compliance failures.

  • Secure Payment Processing Solutions - Implement PCI-compliant payment gateways, encrypted transactions, and tokenization technology to protect customer data.

  • Firewall & Network Security Implementation - Deploy firewall protections, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and secure authentication controls to prevent cyber threats.

  • Regular PCI Compliance Scanning & Monitoring - Conduct quarterly security scans, penetration testing, and compliance audits to maintain security.

  • Data Encryption & Tokenization Services - Implement strong encryption protocols and tokenization methods to secure cardholder data.

We don't just help businesses become PCI compliant—we ensure they stay compliant, audit-ready, and protected from cybersecurity threats.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is PCI DSS compliance, and why is it important? 

PCI DSS compliance is a mandatory security standard established by major credit card companies to protect payment transactions and prevent fraud. Businesses that process, store, or transmit credit card information must comply with PCI DSS to prevent data breaches, avoid financial penalties, and maintain trust with customers.

Who needs to be PCI compliant? 
Any business that accepts credit or debit card payments, whether online, in-store, or over the phone, must comply with PCI DSS requirements. This includes retail stores, restaurants, e-commerce businesses, financial institutions, and healthcare providers.
What happens if my business is not PCI compliant? 

Non-compliance can lead to fines ranging from $5,000 to $100,000 per month, potential lawsuits, and suspension of payment processing privileges from major credit card providers. If a data breach occurs, businesses may also be held financially responsible for fraud-related damages and customer compensation.

How do I become PCI compliant? 

To achieve PCI compliance, businesses must:

  1. Conduct a PCI security assessment to identify vulnerabilities.

  1. Implement secure firewalls, encryption, and authentication controls.

  1. Regularly scan for security threats and report compliance status.

  1. Restrict employee access to cardholder data and enforce security policies.

  1. Use PCI-compliant payment processors and secure network infrastructure.

What are the PCI DSS compliance levels? 

PCI DSS defines four compliance levels based on transaction volume:

  • Level 1: More than 6 million transactions per year (requires full PCI audit).

  • Level 2: 1 to 6 million transactions per year (requires quarterly security scans).

  • Level 3: 20,000 to 1 million transactions per year (requires self-assessment questionnaire).

  • Level 4: Fewer than 20,000 transactions per year (requires basic security measures).

We have worked with Advent Technologies for several years, and they have ALWAYS been there when we needed them. Recently our server failed to boot, which meant that we were a CPA firm that was dead in the water during tax season. Our Advent guy, Heath, was here in less than an hour, and got us running again. This is the rule, not the exception. They take care of our off-site backups and monitor our system for a reasonable monthly fee. Thanks, Advent!
