PCI DSS

Help from RBS WorldPay to meet card industry standards

PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. It’s designed to make sure all cardholder information is stored, processed and transmitted securely.

If you’re in the payment card business, you’re affected

PCI DSS applies to every business that stores, processes or transmits any cardholder data. Nobody’s exempt. And if you don't take steps to protect cardholder data it could result in your business being fined for non-compliance or worse still an Account Data Compromise.

What level am I?

Businesses are divided into four levels depending on the volume and type of transaction they process.

No matter what level you are, if you do not take steps to protect cardholder data, you may be fined for non-compliance or worse still an Account Data Compromise.
