PCI DSS v4.0
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard — mandatory technical and operational requirements for anyone storing, processing, or transmitting cardholder data.
What It Is
PCI DSS is maintained by the PCI Security Standards Council (founded by the major card brands) and sets requirements across network security, access control, encryption, vulnerability management, and monitoring for any organization handling payment card data. Version 4.0 is the current major revision.
Why It Matters
Compliance is a contractual requirement imposed by payment processors and card brands, not an optional certification — non-compliant merchants and service providers risk fines, increased transaction fees, or losing the ability to process card payments at all.
