What is PCI Compliance?

In an effort to reduce the losses caused by hackers and credit card frauds, major credit companies joined together and created the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) to require a business or organization to be able to assure their customers that its credit card data, account information, and transaction information is safe from hackers or any malicious system intrusion.

Do I need it?

Failure to comply with the PCI DSS requirements can result in heavy fined, restrictions, and/or permanent suspension. Not only is achieving compliance a requirement, but it also helps you improve the customers’ confidence, increase revenue, and protects customers by safeguarding their information and preventing identity theft.
