All businesses that accept payment cards are prey for criminal hackers trying to steal financial information and commit identity fraud. The PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) exists to ensure that businesses process credit and debit card payments in a way that effectively protects cardholder data.

All organisations that accept, store, transmit or process cardholder data must comply with the Standard; failure to do so can have serious consequences and expensive repercussions. These range from customer desertion and brand damage to significant financial penalties and operating restrictions imposed by their acquiring bank.
