Overview

What is PCI-DSS?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a global security standard for all entities that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. Compliance is mandatory for any organization that handles credit card transactions.

PCI DSS v4.0, released in March 2022 with mandatory compliance by March 2025, introduces significant updates including customized implementation approaches, enhanced authentication requirements, and expanded encryption mandates. SiegePal ensures your organization meets the latest requirements.

The Cost of Non-Compliance

PCI-DSS non-compliance can result in fines of $5,000 to $100,000 per month from card brands, liability for fraud losses, increased transaction fees, and potential revocation of card processing privileges. Beyond financial penalties, a data breach erodes customer trust and can trigger costly forensic investigations and legal action.
