PCI DSS Compliant hosting (PCI DSS certified hosting) is a cloud service provision scheme based on PCI DSS certification. Such services involve the use of bank cards by enterprises that have placed information systems with a cloud provider.

Using the provider’s services, the company automatically partially fulfills the basic requirements of PCI DSS certification. This is due to the fact that the provider already complies with part of the requirements of the standard. In addition to restricting direct access to the infrastructure, the provider provides firewall protection, antivirus protection against malware, encryption of cardholder data, etc.
