What is Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a commonly accepted set of policies and procedures designed to improve the security of credit, debit, and cash card transactions while also protecting cardholders from identity theft.
The PCI DSS was developed collaboratively by 4 key credit-card companies in 2004: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
Some functions of PCI DSS are-
- A safe network must be held in order for transactions to take place. This requirement calls for the use of security systems that are strong enough to be efficient without causing undue hardship to cardholders as well as vendors.
- Cardholder data must be safeguarded whenever it is stored. Dates of birth, parents' maiden identities, Security Numbers, phone numbers, and mailing addresses should all be kept safe from hackers.
- Systems should be protected from malicious hacker activity by using regularly updated anti-virus operating systems, anti-spyware programs, and so many other anti-malware solutions.
