Hello everyone from Belgium (the chip, beer and chocolate place)
I thought it could be useful if I distribute this newsletter on a regular basis. I called it “The PCI 30 sec newsletter” because It should not take you more than 30 sec to digest. Let me know if you think this is a great idea and of good added value. Also please feel free to comment and suggest any topic.
What is PCI?
PCI stands for: Payment Card Industry denoting the debit, credit, pre-paid, e-purse, ATM and POS (Point of Sale) terminal and associated businesses.
But PCI is specifically referring to the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, a council formed by:
-
Mastercard
-
Visa
-
American Express
-
Discover
-
JCB
The PCI Council develops and maintains (so far) 3 standards that work together to protect payment transactions and cardholder data.
-
PCI DSS: (My bible) It covers systems that store, process, or transmit cardholder data and is used by acquirers, issuers, merchants, service providers and us.
-
PCI PA-DSS: it covers payment applications and is used by application developers.
-
PCI PTS: It covers point-of-interaction devices (or POIs) used for PIN entry.
In the next newsletter we will have a look to the payment processing terminology and workflow.
Cordially
