PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. It is a set of security principles designed to ensure that all companies accepting, processing, storing, or transmitting credit card information maintain a secure environment. Instituted by major credit card companies like Visa, MasterCard, and American Express, PCI DSS compliance is mandatory for businesses dealing with cardholder data. Compliance aims to reduce credit card fraud and protect both merchants and consumers. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, increased transaction fees, and reputational damage from potential breaches.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a cyber security framework established to safeguard credit card transactions against data theft and fraud. PCI DSS mandates businesses that handle cardholder data to uphold specific security measures and was developed by some of the world’s largest credit card providers. This includes securing and strengthening IT infrastructure, maintaining a vulnerability management program, and ensuring robust access control, among other requirements. In the arena of cybersecurity, PCI DSS is a pivotal standard that acts as a recognized stamp of trustworthiness and security for electronic financial transactions.
