PCI DSS Advanced

Model high-risk payment flows
with advanced PCI-DSS logs

Augment the standard card log with 3DS challenge results, dispute timelines, device fingerprints, and risk scores so fraud teams can tune rules and operations without touching real cardholder data.

Compliance disclaimer

Advanced PCI samples do not replace formal assessments. Coordinate with your QSA and internal security teams before applying generated data to production workflows.

What advanced logs unlock

Synthetic logs with richer context help fraud, dispute, and monitoring teams rehearse realistic scenarios while keeping sensitive card data out of test environments.

Fraud detection tuning

  • Train risk rules with device fingerprints and geo signals
  • Log SCA / 3DS challenge outcomes for fine-grained analysis
  • Visualize blacklist and score thresholds in dashboards

Dispute & chargeback ops

  • Recreate chargeback status transitions and deadlines
  • Monitor refund rates per MCC or region
  • Test representment and refund SLAs end to end

Multi-region compliance

  • Track issuer / acquirer country trends
  • Generate detailed reason codes for audit evidence
  • Verify SOC / PCI reporting formats ahead of reviews
  • Locale-driven currency and country codes keep multi-region audit evidence realistic

Sample advanced fields

Suggested workflow

1

Define risk metrics

List the scores, challenge outcomes, and device signals you need to monitor and decide alert thresholds.

2

Assemble scenarios

Model friendly fraud, stolen cards, cross-border spikes, and SCA failures with synthetic logs.

3

Document audit trails

Generate dispute/RDR logs and analyst notes so SOC or PCI audits have traceable evidence.

4

Visualize & alert

Feed dashboards and alerting tools to validate reporting, SLA monitoring, and escalation workflows.

Frequently asked questions

Q. Do the samples include detailed 3DS data?

A. Yes—ECI, ACS transaction IDs, and challenge result codes are generated. Add extra fields by extending the JSON Schema.

Q. Can we change the fraud score distribution?

A. You can configure percentile buckets for `fraudScore` to emphasize specific risk bands.

Q. Are network tokens supported?

A. Fields such as `network_token_id` and `token_requestor_id` are provided by default. Adjust masking and length in the schema settings.
