What is the PCI DSS compliance?

In 2020, credit cards accounted for 27% of all payments, according to a study by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco—the highest level since the study began in 2016. Debit cards represented 28%, while cash usage dropped to 19%, a seven-point decline from 2019. Other payment methods, such as ACH payments, bank account number transfers, online banking bill pay, and prepaid cards, made up the remaining 26%.

The 12 PCI DSS Compliance Requirements

If you handle card transactions or store cardholder data, PCI DSS likely applies to you. However, understanding the specific steps to achieve compliance can be more complex.

PCI DSS sets out 12 key requirements for securing cardholder data, grouped into 6 main objectives. To be fully compliant, your business must meet each of these requirements.

Who does PCI DSS apply to?

PCI DSS applies to any business that accepts, processes, stores, or transmits cardholder data. It also extends to organizations that can influence the security of this data. The standard divides businesses into two key categories: merchants and service providers. Below, we explore the differences between the two.
