Data Security
The PCI DSS applies to all entities that store, process and/or transmit cardholder data. It covers technical and operational system components included in or connected to cardholder data. If you are a merchant who accepts or processes payment cards, you must comply with the PCI DSS. PCI compliance is not only a requirement, it also plays an important role in securing your customer's cardholder data. Although PCI compliance standards have been around since 2004, many entities aren't sure where to begin. Litle & Co., in partnership with the Payment Brands and the PCI Security Standards Council helps to educate entities about data security and PCI compliance requirements.
