PCIDSSvaatimukset

PCIDSSvaatimukset refers to the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCIDSS). This is a set of global security standards designed to protect sensitive cardholder data. Organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data must comply with PCIDSS. The standard outlines twelve primary requirements grouped into six technical control objectives. These objectives cover building and maintaining a secure network, protecting cardholder data, implementing strong access control measures, regularly monitoring and testing networks, and maintaining an information security policy. Compliance is assessed through various methods, including self-assessment questionnaires and external audits by qualified security assessors. Failure to comply can result in significant fines, reputational damage, and loss of the ability to process payment card transactions. PCIDSS is administered by the PCI Security Standards Council, which was founded by major payment card brands. The requirements are regularly updated to address evolving threats and technologies in the payment card industry.
