What is PCI DSS and who needs to comply?

Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the dangers of identity theft and PCI compliance shows you have secure procedures in place that keeps their payment information safe and secure. Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of 12 requirements that all businesses who handle credit or debit card payments must comply with. It provides business best practice guidelines to establish a "minimum security standard".

 

The PCI Security Standards require all merchants, regardless of size or number of transactions, who accept, store, transmit or process any cardholder data to comply with PCI DSS. The requirements, for the majority of merchants, are an Annual PCI Self Assessment Questionnaire and a Quarterly Network Scan.
