Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need PCI DSS compliance if we process cards in Chennai?
Yes. All Chennai-based merchants, processors, and payment gateways handling cardholder data must comply with PCI DSS—regardless of transaction volume. RBI enforces this as a security mandate. Additionally, DPDP Act 2023 overlays privacy obligations on card data handling, making dual compliance essential.
What is the typical timeline for PCI DSS certification in Chennai?
Standard certification takes 6–12 months. Praxis-Q's fast-track model condenses this to 3–4 months through structured parallel remediation, pre-audit hardening, and direct QSA coordination. Timeline varies based on CDE complexity and existing control maturity.
How does CERT-In's incident reporting obligation affect PCI DSS compliance?
CERT-In mandates reporting breaches affecting ≥100 individuals within 6 hours. PCI DSS audit scope must include breach detection, containment, and notification procedures. Praxis-Q integrates CERT-In protocols into your incident response plan and testing cycles to meet both standards simultaneously.
Are there Chennai-specific BFSI compliance overlays beyond PCI DSS?
Yes. RBI's Cyber Security Framework and SEBI's information security directives layer additional requirements on fintech and payment entities. Praxis-Q maps PCI DSS controls to RBI/SEBI audit expectations, ensuring your certification satisfies regulatory expectations across Chennai's fintech ecosystem.
