PCI DSS Compliance on AWS
CodetoKloud, an AWS Advanced Tier Partner, builds PCI DSS-aligned infrastructure on AWS — network segmentation, encryption, access control, logging, and vulnerability management for cardholder data environments.
AWS Advanced Tier Partner★ 4.9/5 on Clutch (9 reviews)Replies within 1 business dayCan you build a PCI DSS-compliant environment on AWS?
Yes. PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) applies to any business that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data. CodetoKloud, an AWS Advanced Tier Partner, designs PCI DSS-aligned cardholder data environments on AWS with network segmentation, encryption, strict access control, logging, and vulnerability management.
Formal PCI validation is performed by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) — we build and document the controls that validation depends on, and reduce your PCI scope wherever we can.
PCI DSS Controls We Implement on AWS
The technical controls that protect cardholder data and reduce your PCI scope.
Network Segmentation
We isolate the cardholder data environment (CDE) from the rest of your infrastructure with dedicated VPCs, subnets, security groups, and firewalls — reducing both risk and PCI scope.
Encryption of Cardholder Data
We encrypt cardholder data at rest with AWS KMS and in transit with TLS, and manage keys and secrets securely so sensitive payment data is protected everywhere.
Access Control & MFA
We enforce least-privilege access, multi-factor authentication, and strong credential management so only authorized users and services can reach the CDE.
Logging & Monitoring
We enable centralized logging with CloudTrail and CloudWatch and continuous monitoring, so access to cardholder data is tracked and security events are caught quickly.
Vulnerability Management
We add image and dependency scanning, secure configuration baselines, and patching processes so vulnerabilities are found and fixed before they become incidents.
Scope Reduction
We reduce PCI scope with segmentation and, where appropriate, tokenization or third-party payment processors — so fewer systems fall under PCI DSS, lowering cost and effort.

PCI DSS Compliance FAQs
Common questions about building PCI DSS-aligned infrastructure on AWS.
What is PCI DSS?
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a security standard for organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. CodetoKloud builds PCI DSS-aligned infrastructure on AWS with the segmentation, encryption, access control, and logging the standard requires.
Can you build a PCI DSS-compliant environment on AWS?
Yes. CodetoKloud designs AWS cardholder data environments (CDE) with network segmentation, encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege access, logging and monitoring, and vulnerability management. Formal validation is performed by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA); we build and document the controls that validation depends on.
How do you reduce PCI DSS scope?
CodetoKloud reduces PCI scope by segmenting the cardholder data environment from the rest of your infrastructure and, where appropriate, recommending tokenization or third-party payment processors so fewer systems fall under PCI DSS requirements — which lowers both risk and cost.
What PCI DSS controls does CodetoKloud implement?
CodetoKloud implements network segmentation and firewalls, encryption of cardholder data, strict access controls and MFA, centralized logging and monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and secure configuration baselines across the AWS environment.
Do you work with e-commerce and fintech businesses?
Yes. CodetoKloud works with e-commerce platforms, fintech companies, and SaaS providers that handle payments, building secure, PCI DSS-aligned infrastructure on AWS that scales with the business.
