What is PCI DSS?
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is the globally recognized cybersecurity standard developed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) to protect cardholder data (CHD) and sensitive authentication data (SAD).
PCI DSS applies to every organization that stores, processes, or transmits payment card information, regardless of size or transaction volume.
The latest version, PCI DSS v4.0.1, introduces enhanced security requirements focused on continuous security monitoring, customized approaches, multi-factor authentication (MFA), phishing resistance, and stronger payment data protection.
Achieving PCI DSS compliance demonstrates your organization's commitment to secure payment processing, regulatory compliance, and cybersecurity best practices.
