What are PCI DSS compliances and why do we require them?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is essential to protecting businesses. PCI DSS requirements are designed by major credit card companies to keep sensitive information out of the wrong hands. VISA, Mastercard, and other companies want their card holders to stay safe. Therefore, any business that accepts cards is required to be PCI compliant. That requires taking and passing a short PCI DSS compliance test. It only takes a few minutes to complete.
