Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance rules are designed to provide the most comprehensive single framework to address all the security, data integrity and privacy concerns associated with processing electronic payment data. It was developed by the major credit card companies as a guideline to help organizations that process card payments prevent credit card fraud, hacking and various other security vulnerabilities and threats. A company processing, storing or transmitting payment card data must be PCI DSS compliant.
The PCI Data Security Standard consists of twelve basic requirements and corresponding sub-requirements.
Separate and distinct from the mandate to comply with the PCI Data Security Standard is the certification, or validation, of compliance whereby entities verify and demonstrate their compliance status. It is a fundamental and critical function that identifies and corrects vulnerabilities, and protects customers by ensuring that appropriate levels of cardholder information security are maintained.
