PCI DSS Overview
Discover the importance of PCI DSS, the global standard for payment security that protects cardholder data and ensures your organisation meets the highest standards of data protection.
Who Does PCI DSS Apply To?
PCI DSS applies to any organisation that processes, stores, or transmits credit card data. This includes not only merchants but also service providers, payment processors, and financial institutions.
PCI DSS Risk Assessments
Risk assessments are a critical component of PCI DSS compliance. These assessments help organisations identify and mitigate vulnerabilities within their payment card processing environment.
PCI DSS 4.0 introduces updated requirements to strengthen payment security. Key changes include more flexible compliance options tailored to each organisation’s environment, a focus on a risk-based security approach, enhanced authentication and access controls, and a shift towards continuous compliance. This version requires organisations to actively monitor and maintain their security measures throughout the year, rather than relying solely on annual audits.
