About PCI DSS

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was developed to encourage and enhance cardholder data security and facilitate the global adoption of consistent data security measures. It consists of 12 sections of technical and operational requirements and over 200 controls focused on the security of credit card data.

PCI DSS is mandated by the card brands and administered by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. It applies to all entities involved in payment card processing, including merchants, processors, acquirers, issuers, and service providers. It also applies to all other entities that store, process, or transmit account data, which includes both cardholder data (CHD) and sensitive authentication data (SAD). Failure to comply with PCI DSS can result in fines, loss of reputation, and inability to accept major credit cards.
