The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was created to promote and elevate the security of payment card account data, fostering widespread adherence to uniform data security measures worldwide. It establishes fundamental technical and operational criteria aimed at safeguarding account data. Although its primary focus is on environments handling payment card account data, PCI DSS can also serve as a means to defend against threats and secure various components within the payment ecosystem.
