# PCI DSS Compliance

As part of our commitment to maintaining a secure payments ecosystem, all businesses that process payments are required to validate compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) annually. PCI compliance protects your business and customers from data breaches, fraud, and identity theft that could result in severe financial penalties. While Jupico manages most compliance requirements, we ask our merchants to attest that their organization meets PCI DSS standards.

If you received an email from <support@pciapply.com>, this was from Jupico and the self-assessment questionnaire will take less than 5 minutes to complete!

Upon getting started, you will find 8 out of 14 questions have been completed based on the integration methodology your Service Provider uses. This means you do not need to make any changes in the **Merchant Information** or **Questionnaire Selection** sections and just hit “*Save & Continue*” to get to the last section.

Section 3 is where you need to answer the remaining 6 questions by confirming these policies and programs are in place with the third-party service providers you are engaging with (your software Service Provider and Jupico).

After that, all you must do is review, sign, and YOU'RE DONE!
