Payment Card Industry (PCI)
PCI compliance refers to adherence to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), a set of requirements that protect credit card information:
The PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) manages the PCI DSS, which is composed of six major payment brands: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, and UnionPay.
PCI compliance protects cardholder data and prevents the misuse of personal information.
