The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is the global standard for securing payment card data. It's a set of security controls managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), and developed by a body of experts from the international payment card brands (VISA, MasterCard, JCB, AMEX and Discover) to help prevent credit card data breach.

This data security standard provides a set of requirements to help protect cardholder data, taking into consideration the people, processes and technologies involved in payment card processing systems. It focuses on security management, policies, procedures, system configurations and secure software design.

PCI DSS is relevant for all organizations which store, process or transmit payment card data, as well as any businesses that may impact the security of a credit card processing environment, such as hosting companies, software developers and managed service providers. Acquiring banks and international payment card brands may directly request an organization to demonstrate compliance to the standard.
