PCI Security Standard
The PCI Security Standards Council is an open global forum for the ongoing development, enhancement, storage, dissemination and implementation of security standards for account data protection. The PCI Security Council's mission is to enhance payment account data security by driving education and awareness of the PCI Security Standards. The organization was founded by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide, and Visa, Inc.
The PCI DSS is a multifaceted security standard that includes requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical protective measures. This comprehensive standard is intended to help organizations proactively protect customer account data.
The PCI Security Standards Council will enhance the PCI DSS as needed to ensure that the standard includes any new or modified requirements necessary to mitigate emerging payment security risks, while continuing to foster wide-scale adoption.
Ongoing development of the standard will provide for feedback from the Advisory Board and other participating organizations. All key stakeholders are encouraged to provide input, during the creation and review of proposed additions or modifications to the PCI DSS.
PA-DSS stands for Payment Application Data Security Standards. Mandates are in place to ensure merchants and agents do not use payment applications known to retain prohibited data elements, such as track data, CVV2 data, and/or PIN data.
Why is Compliance Important?
PCI Compliance provides fraud protection for you and your customers by creating a business that is safe and confidential for cardholders to use their credit cards. NON Compliance makes you vulnerable to fraudulent activity and data breaches which result in cost prohibitive fines and severe loss of brand equity.
PCI DSS compliance is mandated by the card associations. The standard is overseen by an independent council of the five major brands. For more information, and all the facts please visit: www.pcisecuritystandards.org
