What is PCI DSS?

PCI DSS is an international payment card industry data security standard founded by the members of the PCI Security Standards Committee (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB, etc.)

PCI DSS is applicable to entities that store, process or transmit cardholder data (CHD) or sensitive authentication data (SAD), including merchants, processing institutions, acquirers, issuers and service providers. PCI DSS is managed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Committee (PCI SSC).
