Control Gap is a 100% Canadian-owned company. We're experts in information security, with a thorough understanding of where PCI compliance and IT security intersect with Canadian law and business practice. We help some of the largest brands in Canada to achieve and maintain PCI compliance, along with many, many small & medium-sized organizations across the country. What is PCI DSS? PCI DSS is a collection of standards designed to reduce the possibility for account data compromise and related fraud involving payment cards like major credit and debit cards. Since 2005, major credit card brands have required that merchants and service providers of all sizesinvolved with the collection and processing of credit card transactions be fully compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) . Organizations that are still not compliant are expected to be actively working on achieving compliance. Those that don't make satisfactory progress are subject to penalties that can include substantial fines and the cancellation of processing contracts. The PCI DSS standard is managed by the PCI Security Council, which in turn is managed by an association of the major credit card brands (Amex, Discover, JCB, Master Card, and Visa). Managing compliance is the job of the member brands and is enforced contractually as well as by your Acquirer (your transaction processor). Organizations are categorized by the type of payment processing they perform, the volume of transactions or accounts processed, and the payment channels used. Merchants that take payments as well as service providers that process credit card information are grouped in levels based on these secondary factors.
