FAQ
Questions this page should answer clearly.
Does every fintech need PCI DSS?
Not every fintech has the same PCI scope. Scope depends on how cardholder data is stored, processed, transmitted, or touched by systems and partners.
Can PCI evidence overlap with other frameworks?
Yes. Access, logging, vulnerability, incident, and secure development evidence can support multiple control sets when mapped correctly.
