The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a group of security standards designed for every organization that receives, processes, stores, and transmits credit card information to be able to ensure that if the standards are followed, it will make the organization's system more secure. This will help reduce credit card data breaches and their potential impact. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was born on September 7, 2006, to manage the implementation of the PCI DSS standard. PCI DSS is managed by PCI SSC, or the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (www.pcisecuritystandards.org), an independent organization. These organizations are obliged to the organizations that receive, process, store, and transmit credit card information. They were founded by five credit card companies: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JCB comply with the standard, where PCI SSC is only obligated to come out as a standard. The PCI DSS standard can be downloaded here.
