PCI Compliance
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is one of the most world’s most prescriptive technical standards, and it continues to evolve to better address and progress payment security.
If you are a merchant, service provider, or sub-service provider who stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data, then PCI compliance is critical to the operability of your organization. A non-compliant organization could be subject to substantial fines and penalties, termination of the ability to accept cards as payment, loss of business, lost confidence of customers, and legal costs. On the other hand, PCI compliance demonstrates your commitment to security and assures your clients that their cardholder data is protected.
