standard all businesses must adhere to in order to accept payment cards such as Visa,
MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
Complete your PCI-DSS SQL
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements designed to ensure that all companies who accept, process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a safe and secure environment for consumers. Every business, from Main Street to Wall Street, accepting credit cards must be PCI-DSS Compliant.
For business owners, this means you are making sure your customers’ credit card information is kept safe throughout every transaction and that your customers can have confidence their payment card information is protected. PCI-DSS compliance protects your business against the hassles and costs associated with data breaches.
