Maintaining PCI Compliance with Amberflo

Amberflo maintains PCI compliance seamlessly, requiring no additional setup or effort from customers.

What is PCI DSS?

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a global standard for securely handling credit card data, applicable to any organization that transmits, stores, or processes such data.

Why PCI Compliance Matters

Noncompliance can result in:

  • Reputational damage
  • Loss of customer trust
  • Regulatory penalties

Amberflo eliminates these risks with a secure, compliant approach.

How Amberflo Ensures PCI Compliance

Amberflo does not store payment method information, ensuring PCI compliance. Payment processing is securely handled by trusted providers like Stripe or cloud marketplaces (e.g., AWS Marketplace). Amberflo simply initiates payments when invoices are delivered.

How It Works

  1. A customer record is created in Amberflo and the payment processor (e.g., Stripe).
  2. Stripe stores payment information and is certified with Level One PCI Compliance.
  3. Amberflo links customers using a unique Stripe-ID to track usage and process payments.

Safe Stripe API Data

Data returned by Stripe APIs—like card type, last 4 digits, and expiration date—is safe to store and does not impact PCI compliance.

With Amberflo, PCI compliance is simple, secure, and fully managed, so you can focus on scaling your business confidently.
