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.
