Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
description - To protect cardholder data, a global set of security regulations known as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was created. Any company that handles, keeps, or sends credit card information must adhere to this standard, which guarantees safe procedures to stop data breaches and illegal access. Adherence to PCI DSS enhances a company's overall security posture in addition to safeguarding consumer data.
