The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that all companies that process, store, or transmit credit card information do so in a secure environment. PCI DSS compliance is critical for any business that handles payment card data, as it protects both customer information and your organization from the risks associated with data breaches.


What is PCI DSS?

PCI DSS is a global standard that defines a set of security requirements for organizations that handle payment card information. It aims to protect cardholder data, secure payment systems, and reduce the risk of fraud. The standard is developed and maintained by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC).
