What is PCI DSS?

PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. This is a set of rules that businesses must follow if they take payments with credit or debit cards. These rules help keep credit or debit card info safe.

What are the PCI DSS requirements?

How you process credit cards decides which rules you need to follow. If you don't follow PCI rules, you could get fined, have to pay for audits, and face more limits.

The PCI rules include 12 main points:

Keep your network safe
Set up your systems correctly
Protect stored card data
Keep data safe when it’s sent over the internet
Use protection against viruses and bad software
Keep your systems up to date
Control who can access the data
Give each person a unique login
Keep your place of business secure
Keep track of what happens in your systems
Test for weaknesses in your systems
Write down your security plans and risks

Note: If you have your PCI Compliance Certification, you must renew it every year. You also need to make sure your system still meets PCI DSS requirements.
