PCI DSS Compliance
PCI DSS Compliance
Can I be compliant without storing card data myself?
Yes – that's the whole point of using a certified vault. By capturing card data through Hellgate's SDKs and storing it in Guardian's PCI Level 1 environment, you can run payments, subscriptions, and refunds using tokens while never holding a raw PAN in your own systems.
Removing card data from your environment is the most effective way to reduce PCI obligations, and it also shrinks your exposure in the event of a breach.
