How Much Does PCI DSS Compliance Cost with After Dark Grafx?
Typical costs start at $250, however, After Dark Grafx charges hourly based on your needs. We must first start with an assessment. In most cases, you will send us access to your online scanner with one of the major PCI Compliance Website Scanning Services like Security Metrics, Trustwave, Clover, etc. We will login and review what is needed. Typically, you will need a manual attestation of filling our a technical questionnaire related to your website and systems for your credit card processing. We would then need to run a manual scan of the network and then fix any errors that may arise. In some cases, the SSL (digital security certificate) would need to be upgraded or the website itself needs security upgrades or plugin upgrades, etc. Each organization’s needs are different. We work with most PCI Compliance scanning services but contact us first. See below other questions about PCI Compliance.

WIKIPEDIA ON PCI COMPLIANCE:
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an information security standard for organizations that handle branded credit cards from the major card schemes.

The PCI Standard is mandated by the card brands and administered by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. The standard was created to increase controls around cardholder data to reduce credit card fraud. Validation of compliance is performed annually or quarterly,^[1] either by an external Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) or by a firm specific Internal Security Assessor (ISA) that creates a Report on Compliance for organizations handling large volumes of transactions, or by Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) for companies handling smaller volumes.^[2]^{[promotional source?]}^[3]
