PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a globally recognized security standard developed by the PCI Security Standards Council to protect cardholder data during payment processing. It establishes a set of requirements for organizations that store, process, or transmit payment card information, ensuring the security of credit and debit card transactions and reducing the risk of fraud and data breaches.
PCI DSS applies to merchants, payment processors, financial institutions, and service providers, offering a structured approach to safeguarding sensitive payment card information and maintaining trust with customers and stakeholders.
