In a world where technology has facilitated the client experience, we find ourselves living in a data-rich society. This has a direct implication on the ‘trust’ that customers have on a company’s security. This in turn has a huge influence on customer engagement and affinity.
PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. PCI DSS is the global data security standard adopted by the payment card brands for all entities that process, store or transmit cardholder data and/or sensitive authentication data. It consists of steps that follow security best practices such as; Build and Maintain a Secure Network and Systems, Protect Cardholder Data, maintain a Vulnerability Management Program, Implement Strong Access Control Measures, Regularly Monitor and Test Networks, and Maintain an Information Security Policy.
Merchant-based vulnerabilities may appear almost anywhere in the card-processing ecosystem including point-of-sale devices, mobile devices, personal computers, servers, wireless hotspots, etc. Compliance with the PCI DSS helps to alleviate these vulnerabilities and protect cardholder data.
