PCI DSS, or the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, is a widely recognised set of security requirements that protects credit and debit card transactions. It helps safeguard consumers, businesses and payment processors by reducing the risk of fraud, data breaches and theft. By following PCI DSS, organisations ensure that cardholder data is handled securely, maintaining trust and the integrity of the entire payment system. Compliance focuses on safe practices and processes that protect financial transactions and keep everyone involved in the payment process secure.
