PCI-DSS

PCI-DSS Certification


Origin


The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) was created in 2004 by the major credit card companies: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and JCB International. These companies formed the PCI Security Standards Council in 2006 to manage and evolve the standard. PCI-DSS was developed in response to growing concerns about credit card fraud and data breaches, establishing a unified security standard to protect cardholder data across all organizations that store, process, or transmit payment card information.


Industry Value and Importance


PCI-DSS compliance is critical for any business handling payment card transactions, as it reduces the risk of data breaches, fraud, and the significant financial and reputational damage that follows. Beyond being a contractual requirement from payment processors and card brands, maintaining PCI-DSS certification demonstrates an organization's commitment to security best practices. Non-compliance can result in substantial fines, increased transaction fees, loss of card processing privileges, and legal liability in the event of a breach. The standard has become a baseline security framework that many organizations use to strengthen their overall security posture, even extending its principles beyond payment card data protection.
