What is the PCI DSS?
The PCI DSS is a worldwide mandate from the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC). The Council consists of VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB, which are the five major card schemes worldwide.
The PCI DSS was established to help businesses accepting credit and debit card payments, by making sure controls are in place to prevent fraud. The PCI DSS applies to all organisations accepting, processing or storing cardholder information from the card brands.
