    What Is the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard?
    The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was designed by the PCI Security Standards Council to help prevent exposure of sensitive account data such as credit card numbers, customer names, and contact information to unauthorized users.

    The standard requires that a properly configured network security be in place and audited regularly, and certain security provisions should be specifically targeted at the web applications.

    Why Is It Important?
    Compliance with these requirements is necessary for those who wish to accept online payments with credit and debit cards. Those who do not comply may be fined, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars.
