What is the UK PCI DSS compliance?
PCI DSS is the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard and is a set of technical and operational requirements set by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) to protect cardholder data. It is a vital worldwide standard that was set up to help businesses process credit and debit card payments securely, to help protect sensitive cardholder data and to reduce card payment fraud. The way it does this is through tight controls surrounding the storage, transmission and processing of cardholder data that businesses handle.
