The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) became a mandated requirement for all companies and organisations that process card transactions in July 2007. It has been developed and supported by all the world's major card issuers including Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover to create a universal security framework for payment processing.

About PCI

PCI DSS Approved Scanning Vendor

Covering all aspects of the transaction process, the PCI standard is particularly concerned with protecting the account data of the individual customer and preventing fraudulent transactions from occurring. In addition to the requirement for rigorous security management and policy procedures, PCI is very much concerned with network architecture and the integrity of the security system.

Merchants that are non-compliant face withdrawal of their payment services and the possibility of a substantial financial penalty if they are found to be responsible for a breach of the customer data security chain.

RandomStorm is an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) and provides a range of professional security consultancy services to help merchants attain the PCI compliance standards and ensure that the systems are continuously maintained at the required level of security.
