What Is PCI DSS Compliance?
PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Essentially, it’s a set of rules put in place to ensure that all companies that process mobile payments, transmit, or just store credit card info does so in a completely secure environment.
It is essential for a merchant to adhere to PCI standards, as it can reduce the risk of credit card fraud, allow credit card users to enjoy secure mobile payments, and completely safeguard cardholder data.
What is defined as cardholder data, you might ask? Basically:
- The cardholder’s name
- The expiration date
- The service code
