PCI DSS

Protect cardholder data with controls built into your payment processes — not bolted on afterwards.

PCI DSS

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is the global security standard for any organisation that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data. PCI DSS v4.0 introduces more flexible, outcome-based requirements while raising the bar on authentication, encryption, and monitoring. Compliance is mandatory — and validation requirements depend on your transaction volume.

Key requirements

Build and maintain a secure network with firewalls and proper configuration standards

Protect stored cardholder data and encrypt transmission across open networks

Implement strong access control measures, including multi-factor authentication

Maintain a vulnerability management programme with regular patching and scanning

Regularly monitor and test networks, including logging and intrusion detection

Maintain an information security policy and ensure all personnel are trained
