PCI DSS were developed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. They provide common data security standards on a global basis to protect confidential payment card information against theft.
Compliance to PCI DSS is not only a requirement by the individual payment brands, but sound business practice. It protects your clients, avoids credit card fraud, secures your business reputation and removes the risk of fines and fees due to non-compliance in the event of a compromise.
