PCI-DSS COMPLIANCE
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a set of standards created by card issuers such as Visa and MasterCard to ensure the security of credit card details online.
It is a legal requirement for all online payment processors to have up to date PCI-DSS compliance. It is also a legal requirement as a merchant that you are using a PCI-DSS complaint gateway otherwise you risk heavy fines and losing the ability to process credit card payments in the future.
The core of PCI-DSS compliance is outlined below:
- 
Build and Maintain a Secure Network
 - Requirement 1: Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data
 - Requirement 2: Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters
Protect Cardholder Data
 - Requirement 3: Protect stored cardholder data
 - Requirement 4: Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks
Maintain a Vulnerability Management Program
 - Requirement 5: Use and regularly update anti-virus software

Implement Strong Access Control Measures
