PCI dss Essentials
In today’s digital landscape, payment data is one of the most targeted assets by cyber criminals. The healthcare sector, with its combination of personal and financial information, is particularly vulnerable.
At MediShield, we help organisations achieve and maintain PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance to ensure that every transaction, system, and process handling cardholder data is secure, compliant, and resilient.
PCI DSS is the global benchmark for protecting financial information. It defines the controls, policies, and processes required to safeguard cardholder data throughout its entire lifecycle including collection, storage, transmission and disposal. Our goal is to help you meet these standards efficiently, while embedding strong cybersecurity practices across your organisation.
Every business environment is different in whether you process payments through clinical systems, online platforms, or third-party providers. That’s why our PCI DSS Assessment begins with a tailored risk analysis and scoping exercise, ensuring our recommendations and controls fit your specific infrastructure, region, and transaction volume.

Benefits of MediShield PCI DSS services?
Protects Cardholder Data
PCI DSS establishes rigorous security controls for storing, processing, and transmitting payment card data. With MediShield’s guidance, your organisation reduces the risk of breaches, fraud, and financial loss.
Reduce Risk of Fines and Penalties
Non-compliance can result in substantial fines from card brands and acquiring banks, ranging depending on merchant level and breach history. MediShield helps you stay compliant and avoid these costly penalties.
Strengthens Operational Security
PCI DSS drives best practices in access control, network security, encryption, and monitoring. MediShield ensures these practices are implemented effectively, enhancing the overall security and resilience of your systems.
Demonstrates Accountability
Compliance with PCI DSS shows customers, partners, and regulators that your organisation takes payment security seriously, building trust and credibility in the marketplace.
Tailored, Expert Guidance
MediShield provides personalised advice based on your business type, transaction volume, and IT infrastructure. This ensures that PCI DSS controls are implemented efficiently and appropriately for your organisation.
Supports Ongoing Compliance
PCI DSS is not a one-time exercise. MediShield helps establish a repeatable compliance framework, with regular audits, monitoring, and training to address emerging risks and maintain adherence year after year.
Why Cyber Security Matters More Than Ever for Healthcare
Non-compliance remains one of the biggest cybersecurity blind spots across industries. Recent studies show that only 43% of businesses maintain full PCI DSS compliance, and that non-compliant organisations are twice as likely to suffer a data breach. Financial penalties can range from $5,000 to $100,000 per month, depending on the scale and duration of non-compliance which does not account for added reputational and legal costs.
By partnering with MediShield, you gain more than a compliance certificate, you gain peace of mind that every cardholder transaction is protected by a framework, trusted by leading financial and healthcare organisations worldwide.
