PCI DSS

Jan 1, 0001

Definition

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that all companies that accept, process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. It was developed to protect cardholder data and reduce credit card fraud. Compliance with PCI DSS is mandatory for organizations handling payment card information and involves implementing controls across various domains such as network security, access control, and data protection.
