Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Audit
View Datasheet
Due to the growing problem of credit card fraud and identity theft, the five major credit card companies (American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB, MasterCard Worldwide, and Visa International) united to support a new independent body, known as the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), to strengthen security controls among their members.
Together they developed the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and all have agreed to incorporate the PCI DSS as the technical requirements of each of their data security compliance programs.
