In credit card processing, your customer's and your data are of primary concern. Since 2006, all companies accepting credit cards, whether small or large, need to be PCI compliant. It is your responsibility to protect your cardholder's personal financial data.

PCI SSC is responsible for managing the security standards while each individual payment brand is responsible for managing and enforcing compliance to these standards.
