Credit Card Compliance Regulations Mandated by the Payment Card Industry Standards Council Accounting and Financial Services
What is PCI-DSS? • PCI-DSS is an acronym for the Payment Card Industry-Data Security Standard • PCI DSS is the global data security standard that any business of any size must adhere to in order to accept payment cards, and to store, process, and/or transmit cardholder data.
About the Council • The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, or PCI SSC – often termed simply “the Council” – is an open global forum, launched in 2006, that develops, maintains and manages the PCI Security Standards, which include the Data Security Standard (DSS), Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS), and PIN Transaction Security (PTS) Requirements. • The Council’s five founding global payment brands -- American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard, and Visa Inc. • The Council does NOT validate or enforce any organization’s compliance with its PCI Security Standards, nor does it impose penalties for non-compliance. These areas are governed by the payment brands and their partners.
