PCI-DSS - Payment Card Industry Card Security Standards
What is PCI-DSS
PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. It is a multifaceted security standard that includes requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical protective measures. It governs the secure handling of credit card data in the aspects of storage, processing and transmission of cardholder data.
What does it mean for you?
PCI-DSS Compliance is becoming the more and more well known to New Zealand merchants. The initiative not only protects the cardholders from card fraud, but also protects merchants from the possibility of data breach and card fraud which could result in loss of sales, fines and brand damage.
Becoming PCI compliant means being able to satisfy the PCI Data Security Standards, which you can download from PCI Security Standards Council: Download PCI DSS.
In laymans terms, being compliant means looking at how your organisation (or third parties you employ) collects, stores and processes credit card data.
