usd PCI DSS

The trust consumers place in modern payment systems represents the elementary basis for economic success. Your customers’ trust can only be ensured in the long-term through suitably stringent security standards. The globally effective Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards represents an important tool when it comes to achieving this goal.

The PCI standards were defined based on existing security standards from VISA and MasterCard and are by now adopted and recognized by all well-known credit card firms as common standards. They define specific requirements in the different areas of payment card processing, which have to be met by merchants, service providers, payment application vendors, acquirer banks and processors.
