PCI DSS COMPLIANCE
PCI DSS Compliance (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) 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. Established by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), this comprehensive set of security standards aims to minimize the risk of data breaches and fraud by ensuring that organizations that handle credit and debit card transactions adhere to stringent security measures.
PCI DSS compliance encompasses a wide range of requirements, spanning from the installation and maintenance of firewalls to the encryption of cardholder data during transmission and storage. It mandates regular vulnerability scans, access control restrictions, and a robust information security policy to safeguard cardholder data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
