Frequently Asked Questions

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a security standard developed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council to protect sensitive payment card information during transactions and storage.

PCI DSS sets out payment card protection requirements that merchants, banks, payment gateways and anyone else who processes, stores or transmits payment card data must comply with. These requirements include, for example, the implementation of security measures such as data encryption, regular monitoring of the network and systems, restriction of access to sensitive information, regular testing of security systems and others.
