About PCI DSS Compliance Checker

Our free PCI DSS Compliance Checker verifies that your domain's TLS configuration meets PCI DSS requirements. This includes checking TLS version (1.2+), cipher strength, key size, HSTS headers, and certificate validity — all critical for processing payment card data.

How to Use

  1. 1Enter your payment processing domain
  2. 2Click "Check Compliance" to scan TLS configuration
  3. 3Review compliance status and fix any non-compliant items

Use Cases

  • •Annual Audits: Prepare for PCI DSS assessment by verifying TLS requirements
  • •Payment Gateway Integration: Ensure compliance before connecting to payment processors
  • •Ongoing Monitoring: Continuously verify TLS stays compliant after configuration changes

PCI DSS Requirements

  • •TLS 1.2 or higher must be used
  • •No weak ciphers (RC4, DES, 3DES, NULL, EXPORT)
  • •Minimum 2048-bit RSA or equivalent key strength
  • •HSTS header must be present
  • •Valid, non-expired certificate

Frequently Asked Questions

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a set of security requirements for organizations that handle payment card data. Requirement 4 mandates strong cryptography and TLS 1.2 or higher for transmitting cardholder data over public networks.
PCI DSS requires TLS 1.2 or higher. TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are no longer considered secure and do not meet PCI DSS requirements. SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 are completely prohibited under PCI DSS standards.
PCI DSS requires quarterly external vulnerability scans and annual assessments. However, it is best practice to check compliance monthly or whenever you make changes to your TLS configuration, deploy new servers, or renew certificates.

Tips & Best Practices

  • •Verify TLS configuration meets PCI DSS requirements
  • •Use PCI compliance scanning for payment card processing
  • •Document PCI compliance for quarterly assessment
  • •Monitor PCI compliance status continuously
