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