What is PCI DSS?
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that all companies that accept, process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. Version 4.0, released in 2022, modernizes the standard with a customized approach to controls.
Who needs PCI DSS?
Any organization that accepts, processes, stores, or transmits payment card data — from e-commerce merchants to payment processors, banks, and service providers — is subject to PCI DSS.

Frequently asked questions about PCI DSS
What is PCI DSS 4.0?
PCI DSS 4.0 is the latest version of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, released in March 2022. It introduces a customized approach to controls, enhanced multi-factor authentication requirements, and updated guidance for e-commerce and phishing.
Who needs to be PCI DSS compliant?
Any merchant, service provider, or organization that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data. Compliance level depends on transaction volume — Level 1 merchants (>6M transactions/year) require a QSA on-site assessment; lower levels can use a SAQ.
What are the 12 PCI DSS requirements?
The 12 requirements cover: network security controls, secure configurations, protecting stored account data, encrypted transmission, malware protection, secure development, access control, identity management, physical security, monitoring and logging, security testing, and organizational policies.
How does Flow help with PCI DSS?
Flow maps your controls to all 12 PCI DSS requirements, manages evidence collection, tracks ownership, and surfaces gaps before your QSA assessment. The AI analyst can explain requirements in plain language and help you scope your cardholder data environment.
What is SAQ vs QSA?
A Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) is a self-validation tool for merchants and service providers who don't require a full QSA on-site assessment. A Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) is a certified company that conducts on-site assessments for Level 1 merchants.
