The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of comprehensive requirements for enhancing payment account data security. These requirements are a set of security standards designed to ensure that all companies that accept, process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment.

About PCI DSS

The PCI DSS applies to all entities that store, process, and/or transmit cardholder data. This data can include credit cards, debit cards, ATM cards, and point of sale (POS) cards. The goal of the standard is to protect cardholder data and decrease the possibility of cardholder data theft and/or loss. If you are a merchant who accepts or processes payment cards, you must comply with the PCI DSS.

The PCI DSS is made up of 12 requirements that businesses are expected to comply with. These requirements consist of security policies, procedures, and guidelines for storage, processing, and transmission of cardholder data.
