Understand the foundation

What is PCI compliance?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) sets a baseline of technical and operational requirements to help protect payment account data.

It applies to organizations that store, process or transmit cardholder data, or can affect its security. Your payment environment and provider’s program determine the validation steps relevant to your business.
