PCI:DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)

PCI:DSS is the worldwide Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard that was set up to help businesses process card payments securely and reduce card fraud. This is achieved through enforcing tight controls surrounding the storage, transmission and processing of cardholder data that businesses handle. PCI:DSS is intended to protect sensitive cardholder data.
Every business that processes card payments is required to have a yearly PCI:DSS compliance assessment to ensure that they are abiding and following card brand rules. We can provide the consultancy to help you understand your organisations obligations under PCI:DSS and what you need to do to comply with the requirements of the standard.
