PCI DSS Compliance Services for Fintech

PCI DSS compliance is mandatory for any fintech handling credit card data. We design payment-compliant AWS architectures that reduce your PCI scope and eliminate non-compliance risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can serverless architecture be PCI DSS compliant?

Yes. Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB are all PCI DSS compliant when configured properly (encryption, logging, access controls). Serverless can reduce your PCI scope because AWS manages the OS and infrastructure layers.

What is a SAQ-A-EP architecture on AWS?

SAQ-A-EP (Simplified Assessment Questionnaire A-EP) is the smallest PCI scope option for merchants. You accept payments via a payment processor API (e.g., Stripe, Square). Your AWS architecture validates but does not process card data. We design Lambda + API Gateway systems that are SAQ-A-EP compliant.

How long does PCI DSS compliance take?

Initial assessment: 2-4 weeks. Implementation: 3-6 weeks. First external audit: 2-4 weeks (once architecture is ready). Most companies achieve PCI compliance within 3-4 months from project start.

Key Challenges We Solve

PCI Scope Management

Every system that stores or processes card data is in scope. We reduce scope by using tokenization, SAQ-A architectures (minimal scope), and AWS-managed services.

Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) Isolation

PCI requires complete network isolation of payment systems. Building CDE with VPC, security groups, and NACLs that satisfy auditors is complex.

PCI Audit Readiness

External Security Assessors (ESAs) audit your environment. We ensure your AWS architecture, logging, and documentation meet audit requirements.

Our Approach

PCI-Scope-Reduced Architecture

Use AWS Payment Cryptography or third-party tokenization to remove card data from your scope. Deploy SAQ-A-EP (minimal scope) payment systems using API Gateway + Lambda.

Defense-in-Depth for CDE

Multi-layer isolation: separate VPC for CDE, private subnets only, WAF blocking unapproved traffic, GuardDuty threat detection, and centralized logging.

PCI Audit Preparation

Pre-audit assessments, documentation templates, remediation guidance, and coordination with your external security assessor. We ensure your first audit passes.
