What Your Business Needs to Know About PCI

If your business processes credit or debit card payments — online or in person — you need to be PCI compliant. But what exactly does that mean, and why should you care?

What is PCI?

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a set of security standards designed to protect cardholder data. It applies to any business that handles, stores, or transmits credit card information — whether you process one transaction or a thousand a day.

And yes, even small businesses are required to follow it.

Why PCI Compliance Matters

PCI compliance helps prevent:

• Credit card data breaches
• Unauthorized access to sensitive info
• Fines from payment processors or banks
• Loss of customer trust

Cybercriminals love to target businesses with weak security. PCI standards help protect your customers and your business.

Don’t Assume You’re Compliant
