Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS)

PCI-DSS is a set of security standards for merchants that handle credit card payments.

What is PCI-DSS?

PCI-DSS ensures that any company processing, accepting, or storing credit cardholder data will follow security best practices. PCI-DSS has four compliance levels, depending on the number of transactions a business processes yearly. Businesses must evaluate their PCI-DSS compliance requirements annually.

Why do we need PCI-DSS?

Credit card companies mandated the PCI-DSS standard to ensure that transactions happen in a secure environment and to minimize credit card fraud. A business that complies with PCI-DSS makes itself trustworthy in the eyes of its customers and partners. The price of noncompliance is often enough to convince a business that compliance is worthwhile.

How your organization can apply PCI-DSS

If you handle cardholder data in your project, you must comply with the PCI-DSS standard to ensure that the data is processed in a safe manner. PCI-DSS v3.2.1 will be valid for two years following the March, 2022 release of version 4.0 (until 2024), after which it will be retired. Merchants have a two-year window to familiarize themselves with version 4.0.
