PCI DSS
The security standard required for any business that handles cardholder data.
Overview
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) sets requirements for any organization that stores, processes, or transmits credit card data. Compliance level depends on transaction volume, ranging from a self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ) to a full Report on Compliance (ROC) from a Qualified Security Assessor.
Why it matters
Non-compliance risks fines, increased transaction fees, and loss of the ability to process card payments at all. Most companies can significantly reduce both scope and effort by architecting how card data flows through their systems.
