About PCI Compliance
PCI (Payment Card Industry) Compliance was developed by the major credit card companies as a guideline for organizations that process transactions to prevent credit card fraud, hacking, and general security threats and vulnerabilities. All companies that process, store, or transact payment card data must be PCI DSS (Data Security Standard) Compliant, and using DSS compliant payment applications by 7/1/2010. Any company found non-compliant but continuing to accept credit card payment from the participating card brands may lose their ability to process card payments and could be audited and/or fined.
