Overview

An ideal introduction and a quick reference to PCI DSS version 3.2

All businesses that accept payment cards are prey for hackers and criminal gangs trying to steal financial information and commit identity fraud. The PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) exists to ensure that businesses process credit and debit card orders in a way that effectively protects cardholder data.

All organisations that accept, store, transmit or process cardholder data must comply with the Standard; failure to do so can have serious consequences for their ability to process card payments.

  • An overview of PCI DSS v3.2.
