PCI DSS Sets 4 Levels for Companies Depending on Volume It’s seen that various payment card data security companies are looking ahead to get PCI compliance and thus PCI compliance is one of the hottest topic these days, however thank God it’s for good reasons and thus before we start our search about PCI compliance it’s important to understand what PCI compliance is and as per the definition the payment card industry data security standards (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards that are designed to ensure that all companies that accept, process and stores and transmit the credit card information maintain a secure environment.


It’s also important to know that although it’s important to get PCI compliance however it’s not mandatory for all the entities to get PCI compliance and currently both Visa and Master card requires merchants and service providers to be validated according to the PCI DSS, although all the entities that processes, stores or transmit the cardholder data or formal validation of PCI DSS compliance however it’s important to understand that it’s not mandatory and as we all know that PCI compliance or PCI DSS (payment card industry security standards) is a set of security standards that are basically designed to ensure that all companies that accept, process and stores, transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment and PCI compliance is not restricted to the size of company and it do not matter how much big or small the company if the organization is involved in above mentioned


activities then it needs to be PCI compliance as the goal is to build and maintain the secure network and to protect the cardholder data as real money is involved in it and that’s the reason it’s important to note that this information needs to be sure as if it’s leaked then it can cause drastic effect.
