Demystifying the PCI Data Security Standard for Service Providers

Overview

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security practices set forth by American Express, Discover, Japan Central Bank, MasterCard, and VISA to protect cardholder data. It is an industry-established policy requiring compliance by all merchants and service providers that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. This white paper from ComplyGuard Networks explains what the specific requirements of the PCI DSS mean for service providers.

The PCI DSS's special requirements for merchants are detailed in the companion white paper, "The PCI Data Security Standard for Merchants Demystified."
