What is PCI DSS?

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a set of security measures to guarantee that all organizations that receive, process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a protected environment. PCI DSS was formed to safeguard sensitive cardholder data from theft and forgery.

The Importance of PCI DSS Compliance

Organizations guard sensitive cardholder data by sticking to this framework, preventing heist and unauthorized access. Compliance also boosts trust among customers, enriching their faith when making payments. Moreover, it helps businesses satisfy legal essentials in numerous jurisdictions, which, when not met, can result in pricey fines, penalties, and data violations that harm both finances and prestige.
