SRC-Expert Ehlers: Standards of the Payment Card Industry (PCI)
“PCI compliance requires know-how and resources.” SRC expert Jana Ehlers explains the different PCI security standards in an article which has just been published on the professional platform “All About Security”.
In view of the increasing number of card payments in pandemic times, the protection of payment card data is a very current topic.
All PCI standards aim at protecting payment card data of international payment systems. The most well-known standard alone, PCI DSS, has around 250 individual requirements. If these are already taken into account when setting up networks and structures, there is often no need for complex and expensive retrofits. But also the permanent maintenance of PCI DSS conformity poses challenges for companies.
SRC examines and advises on PCI standards since their emergence in 2006. This experience can be used to correctly understand and consider the intentions of the PCI standards. SRC accompanies through the whole process. Thus, not only PCI-conformity can be achieved in an understandable way, but also a great deal more security for the customers’ payment card data worthy of protection.
