PCI DSS is a security standard that merchants and service providers must follow pursuant to their contracts with the credit card companies (VISA, MasterCard, etc.). It is enforceable by the credit card companies through penalties or sanctions that include revocation of the company’s right to accept or process credit card transactions. The credit card companies have now mandated the security controls a company must have in place to continue to collect or process credit card information. All merchants and service providers that store, process or transmit cardholder data must comply with PCI DSS.
