PCI DSS

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard for cardholder data protection.

Overview

What is PCI DSS?

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a set of security requirements designed to protect cardholder data wherever it is stored, processed, or transmitted. Version 4.0, released in 2022, introduces the Customized Approach alongside the traditional Defined Approach and adds 64 new requirements addressing modern payment security challenges.

Compliance with PCI DSS demonstrates to clients, regulators, and stakeholders that your organization maintains robust controls aligned with internationally recognized standards.

Who Needs PCI DSS?

  • Merchants accepting card payments (online and in-store)
  • Payment service providers and payment facilitators
  • Payment gateways and processors
  • Issuing and acquiring banks
  • Any entity storing, processing, or transmitting cardholder data
