PCI DSS Regulation
What is PCI DSS?
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is the global security standard created by leading payment card brands—Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JCB—to protect cardholder data during processing, transmission, and storage.
If you’re wondering what PCI DSS is and what it’s for, this standard sets technical and organizational requirements to ensure the security of credit and debit card transactions.
Why is PCI DSS compliance crucial?
Certification under PCI DSS is mandatory for any business that stores, processes, or transmits credit card data.
Compliance prevents costly penalties and protects your organization from data breaches, financial fraud, and reputational damage.
Adhering to PCI DSS standards also demonstrates your commitment to cybersecurity and consumer protection.
