Frequently Asked Questions

Why do Chandigarh fintech startups need PCI DSS certification?�-�
RBI mandates PCI DSS compliance for all entities handling card payments. Chandigarh's growing fintech hub (NCR region) must meet payment processor requirements and avoid gateway blocks, chargebacks, and regulatory fines. DPDP Act 2023 adds data protection obligations for cardholder personal data.
What's the difference between PCI DSS 3.2.1 and 4.0?�-�
PCI DSS 3.2.1 is current standard. Version 4.0 (effective March 2025) introduces evolving security practices, multi-factor authentication focus, and third-party risk management. Praxis-Q designs roadmaps supporting both versions to avoid re-work for Chandigarh clients.
How does DPDP Act 2023 align with PCI DSS compliance?�-�
DPDP mandates explicit consent, data minimization, and breach notification within 72 hours to RBI/CERT-In. PCI DSS focuses on technical card data protection. Combined compliance requires tokenization (cardholder data exclusion), audit logs for DPDP audits, and incident response linked to CERT-In protocols.
Is PCI DSS certification required for Chandigarh manufacturing firms with online payments?�-�
Yes. Any Chandigarh entity accepting card payments—manufacturing, SaaS, e-commerce—must achieve PCI DSS compliance per RBI guidelines. Hosted payment forms and third-party gateways reduce scope; Praxis-Q advises on vendor risk assessment and shared responsibility matrices.
