PCI DSS – Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard

PCI DSS – Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard

Security for international card-based payment transactions

The PCI DSS is a set of rules developed by the international payment systems Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB International (united in the PCI Security Standards Council) to ensure the security of payments with their payment cards.

Merchants who accept payments with such cards and service providers who support them in doing so must comply with the PCI DSS regulations. The regulations cover IT security best practices:

  • Network security
  • System hardening
  • Encryption
  • Vulnerability management
  • Access and access control
  • Monitoring, logging and regular checks of the network
  • Information security management, processes and policies

So that your customers have confidence in you

Compliance with the PCI DSS requirements makes it much more difficult for attackers to obtain payment data. This ensures a secure payment system and maintains customer confidence.

By complying with the PCI DSS, companies are also already implementing measures to ensure compliance with other compliance requirements, such as the PCI DSS. Facilitate requirements from the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) or the IT Security Act, bank regulatory requirements for IT (BAIT) or requirements from international standards such as ISO/IEC 27001.
