Frequently Asked Questions
Is PCI DSS mandatory in the EU?
Yes. PCI DSS compliance obligations in Europe are set by card schemes and acquiring banks. EU financial regulators including the EBA also reference PCI DSS in payment security guidelines. DORA additionally requires EU financial entities to manage ICT risks in payment systems.
How does GDPR interact with PCI DSS for EU merchants?
Both GDPR and PCI DSS govern data protection for different data types. Where cardholder data includes EU personal data, both regimes apply simultaneously. Praxis-Q implements controls satisfying both GDPR Article 32 and PCI DSS security controls concurrently.
Does DORA affect PCI DSS compliance for EU payment companies?
Yes. EU payment institutions regulated under PSD2 are financial entities subject to DORA. Praxis-Q implements PCI DSS and DORA together for EU payment entities to eliminate duplicate compliance effort.
