Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost and timeline for PCI DSS compliance in Delhi?
Timeline: 8–12 weeks for assessment, remediation, and certification. Scope varies by environment size, system complexity, current security maturity and your merchant tier. Pricing is scoped per engagement - request a proposal.
How does PCI DSS align with DPDP Act 2023 in India?
DPDP Act 2023 mandates explicit cardholder consent, data minimization, and encryption. PCI DSS v4.0 satisfies most DPDP obligations for sensitive personal data (card numbers, expiry, CVV). Praxis-Q maps PCI DSS controls to DPDP Article 8 (security) and Article 4 (consent management). We integrate consent tracking, audit trails, and breach notification workflows to meet both regimes.
Are Delhi fintech firms required to be PCI DSS compliant?
Yes. RBI Master Direction on Digital Payments mandates PCI DSS compliance for all payment gateways, acquiring banks, and processors handling card data. SEBI-regulated fintech platforms must comply if they process or transmit card data. Non-compliance triggers regulatory action, license suspension, and customer liability. Delhi-based platforms operating within India's payment ecosystem must achieve certification.
What happens if we fail PCI DSS audit?
Failed audits result in a remediation roadmap with 30–90 day cure period. Non-remediation triggers regulatory reporting to RBI/SEBI, reputational damage, and potential merchant de-boarding. Praxis-Q's pre-assessment and mock audits ensure you pass on first attempt. We provide continuous support and re-testing until all findings are resolved and certified.
