Our dedicated PCI DSS support for NHS Trusts delivers:
- Rapid mobilisation for time-sensitive PCI assessments
- Experienced QSA-led support with NHS-specific knowledge
- Flexible engagement options tailored to Trust-level budget realities
Why Some NHS Trusts Are Now Facing Greater PCI DSS Pressures
- Worldpay and other acquirers are increasingly enforcing stricter compliance requirements. Some Trusts previously using SAQ (self-assessment questionnaires) are now being required to undergo QSA-led Level 2 assessments due to growing transaction volumes.
- We know many NHS Trusts are being asked to act quickly - often with little warning and no budget. That’s exactly why we’ve created this service: to help you respond confidently, without chaos.
- We understand the pressure and we can help you meet it head-on.
How We Help NHS Trusts Comply Fast
- Understand your obligations: We explain what Worldpay’s mandate means and what your Trust must do.
- Identify only what’s needed: We focus purely on PCI DSS gaps - saving time, cost, and rework.
- Get compliant quickly and clearly: We provide a fast, QSA-led assessment with clear actions and board-ready reporting.

Why PCI DSS can be challenging for NHS trusts
PCI DSS compliance can be particularly complex for NHS organisations due to the scale and structure of many trusts. Card payments may be accepted across multiple departments, including clinics, pharmacies, parking services and charitable foundations, with each channel potentially introducing systems or processes within PCI scope.
NHS environments also tend to include large and diverse IT estates, sometimes with legacy systems not designed for modern payment security requirements. Combined with payment responsibilities often being shared across finance, IT and operational teams, this can make it difficult to clearly identify where cardholder data is processed and to accurately scope PCI compliance.
Get Compliant – Even When Budget Is a Challenge
We understand that securing budget for compliance work isn't always straightforward. That’s why our solution includes:
- Special project engagement models
- Flexible payment and scoping options
- Stakeholder-ready compliance plans to gain internal approval
