The PCI DSS, one of the most exhaustive and strict payment security certification standards in the world, requires merchants and service providers that store, process, or transmit customer payment card data to adopt information security controls and processes to ensure data integrity. The PCI DSS includes requirements for security policies, procedures, management, software design, and other vital protective measures that service providers must adopt to safeguard customer data.
In order to obtain PCI DSS certification, a company is required to undergo a thorough onsite audit from a PCI SCC-authorized independent assessment organization. These include Qualified Security Assessors, PCI Forensic Investigators, Approved Scanning Vendors, and others. After achieving certification, a company must comply with pertinent security requirements across its daily operations.
