What is PCI DSS?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a global security framework designed to protect cardholder data. It defines technical and operational requirements for organizations that store, process or transmit payment card information.

PCI DSS is managed by the PCI Security Standards Council and applies to merchants, service providers and financial organizations involved in payment processing.

PCI DSS compliance typically covers areas such as:

  • Network and system security

  • Access control and identity management

  • Vulnerability management

  • Logging, monitoring and testing

  • Information security policies and procedures

Organizations must regularly assess their controls, maintain documented evidence, and demonstrate compliance through internal reviews and independent external assessments.

Common PCI DSS compliance challenges

Highly technical evidence requirements

Organizations must maintain detailed, defensible evidence across systems, processes and controls.

Ongoing validation, not one-off audits

PCI DSS requires continuous control operation, not just annual assessments.

Complex, cross-team coordination

Security, IT, operations, compliance and external assessors are often involved simultaneously.

Manual audit preparation

Evidence is frequently gathered from multiple tools and teams under time pressure.
