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.
