What It Is

PCI DSS is a global security standard maintained by the PCI Security Standards Council that defines 12 core requirements covering network security, cardholder data protection, vulnerability management, access control, monitoring, and security policy.

Compliance is validated through a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) or a formal audit by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), depending on transaction volume and merchant level, and must be revalidated annually along with quarterly vulnerability scans.

Who It Applies To

Any business that stores, processes, or transmits payment card data, including retailers, e-commerce operators, restaurants, and service businesses that accept card payments.
