Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
The growth of e-commerce has seen an increase in electronic crime—such as identity theft and hacking. This means any device storing, processing and/or transmitting card data, is increasingly vulnerable to compromise, especially those in systems that offer public internet access.
In response to this threat, the Payment Card Industry (PCI) has developed a new set of security requirements governing credit card transactions and to help protect cardholder data. These are the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCIDSS) and all merchants are required to implement them.
