The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) was created to enhance security controls
around cardholder data and to reduce credit card fraud.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) was created to enhance security controls around cardholder data and to reduce credit card fraud.
Why PCI-DSS Was Created?
- Rising Credit Card Fraud: Prior to PCI-DSS, there were increasing concerns about credit card fraud and data breaches. Businesses were processing card payments in diverse ways, often without adequate security measures.
- Need for Standardized Security Practices: There was a lack of standardized practices for securing cardholder information. This inconsistency led to vulnerabilities in how credit card data was handled and stored.
- Consumer Confidence: Ensuring the security of credit card transactions was essential for maintaining consumer confidence in using credit cards for purchases, especially with the rise of e-commerce.
Who Created PCI-DSS?
PCI-DSS was created by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), which was formed in 2004. The PCI SSC was founded by major credit card companies including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JCB. These companies came together to establish a unified set of security standards that all organizations processing, storing, or transmitting credit card information would need to comply with. The creation of PCI-DSS represented a significant move towards a more secure and standardized approach to handling credit card transactions. This standard is crucial for businesses that handle credit card transactions, including those in your target market.
