Blog Focus: Simplifying global payment security standards for enterprise WooCommerce merchants.

1. Understanding PCI DSS #

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a global framework that safeguards cardholder data across all online transactions.
HesabPay ensures compliance by processing all payment data off-site, minimizing merchant risk and PCI responsibility.

2. Merchant Scope Simplified #

Because HesabPay handles card entry and tokenization externally, your WooCommerce store:

• Never stores sensitive cardholder data.

• Is automatically out of PCI Level 1 scope.

• Requires minimal compliance validation.

Enterprise Insight:
Reducing PCI scope lowers compliance costs and audit complexity by over 70%.

3. Merchant Best Practices #

• Use SSL across your entire site.

• Keep plugins and WordPress core updated.

• Restrict admin access to authorized personnel only.

• Avoid saving screenshots or transaction data locally.

4. Verification and Documentation #

For compliance reporting:

• Maintain transaction logs.

• Record plugin update history.

• Keep audit-ready documentation.

Enterprise Tip:
Enterprise users can integrate HesabPay logs into external SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems for advanced auditing.

5. Compliance Maintenance #

• Review your hosting provider’s PCI compliance status annually.

• Revalidate your integration when switching domains or hosts.

• Train your team on secure data handling practices.

Conclusion:
With HesabPay’s PCI DSS-ready design, merchants achieve full compliance with minimal effort — ensuring every transaction meets the world’s strictest payment security standards.
