About PCI DSS Certification
PCI DSS requirements apply to all entities that store, process or transmit customer payment card data to adhere to information security controls and processes that ensure data integrity. The standard is a list of 12 requirements which involve both processing solution security and physical security of the data through different measures: from cardholder data encrypting to network monitoring and limitation of user access to the private information. Such a multilateral approach becomes the only efficient means of preventing fraudulent operations in the payments industry. Today the adherence to PCI DSS is mandatory for banks, processing centers, financial organizations and merchants working with payment brands. For more visit - https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org
