Handling payment data? You need to be PCI DSS compliant. But achieving and maintaining compliance is no small task—unless you’re using a PCI-compliant virtual machine (VM).
What is a PCI-Compliant VM?
A PCI-compliant VM is a pre-configured cloud environment that meets the security controls outlined in PCI DSS. Instead of setting up compliance manually, these VMs come pre-hardened with security best practices.
Key Benefits of Using a PCI-Compliant VM
🛡️ Faster Compliance – Skip the lengthy setup and deploy instantly.
⚡ Stronger Security – Encryption, logging, and firewall rules are already in place.
🔄 Automatic Updates – Stay compliant with minimal maintenance.
📊 Audit-Ready Logs – Easily track security events and meet compliance audits.
💰 Cost-Effective – Save time and money by eliminating complex setup work.
Why It Matters
If you handle credit card transactions, compliance isn’t optional—it’s mandatory. A PCI-compliant VM like Citadel VM makes achieving compliance faster, easier, and more secure.
