Payment Card Data Security
Payment card data security compliance is required of all merchants and service providers who store, process, or transmit cardholder information. The program applies to all forms of payment channels and compliance must be validated by a third party assessor for merchants and service providers that meet the criteria defined by Visa. The PCI Data Security Standard contains twelve key security control domains which provide the security framework addressing many areas of information, network, and application security.
