What is PCI compliance?
PCI DSS is an information security standard designed for organisations who process, store, transmit or otherwise handle cardholder data.
Why do I need PCI compliance?
Aside from the fact that it is a requirement and the vast majority of all banks are requiring PCI compliance in order to accept credit or debit card information, it’s there to protect your customers and, ultimately, to protect you. It’ not a one-off box-ticking exercise designed to spend your money; it’s an ongoing secure way of thinking to help protect you and your customers’ online security.
