The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard has been developed by MasterCard and Visa to provide a worldwide standard for consumer data protection. As merchants are increasingly victimized by compromises, their compliance with the PCI Data Security Standards is necessary to guarantee the protection of their cardholder data.
PCI DSS focuses on six areas of operation:
- Build and maintain a secure network
- Protect cardholder data
- Maintain a vulnerability management program
- Implement strong access control measures
- Regularly monitor and test networks
- Maintain an information security policy
