About PCI-DSS
PCI DSS represents one of the most sought after Security Certifications in the world today, because it has the most comprehensive and rigorous requirements for enhancing data security for payment account information of any standard. PCI requirements were developed by the founding payment brands of the PCI Security Standards Council, which include American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard and Visa to ensure the safe handling of card data by preventing fraud through increased controls. This standard applies to all organizations that store, process, or exchange cardholder information related to credit cards.
