PCI DSS Standards

The PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) safeguards cardholder data and sensitive authentication information when processed, stored, or transmitted. The PCI DSS universe is built of 3 important components. They are:

PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)

This component applies to any company that deals with cardholder data, whether it’s storing, processing, or transmitting it. It covers the technical and operational aspects of systems connecting to cardholder data. If your business handles payment cards in any way, you must comply with PCI DSS to ensure data security.

Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS)

PA-DSS is mainly for software developers and integrators who create applications that are about cardholder data. It also covers applications you sell, distribute, or license to third parties.

PIN Entry Device Security Requirements (PCI PED) 

PCI PED is mainly for manufacturers who create and manage personal identification number (PIN) entry terminals used in financial transactions. PCI PED specifies these devices’ security requirements and ensures you securely handle PINs.
