About Us

The pcidssguide.com site's goal is to ensure that best practice guidelines are distributed to create a more robust security environment for all organizations. In addition to clarifying the PCI DSS compliance process, it provides some common sense for this process and helps people maintain their security as they move through the application processes.

At PCI DSS Guide, we share opinions, experiences, and information about PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) to ensure that organizations successfully implement and maintain the PCI DSS Program and reduce risks.

PCI DSS is often misunderstood and consequently misapplied, posing inherent risks to the payment card industry and, ultimately, the organization. Therefore, it is essential for organizations to understand what is required of them by accurately defining appropriate reporting requirements, accurately defining the scope of the environment, and implementing the necessary policies, procedures, and technical controls to meet applicable PCI DSS requirements.

We believe that the safer we will all be, the more safety information and best practice guidelines are given to the public by experts. Our goal is to explain the PCI compliance process while also providing common sense to this process and helping people go through their compliance processes.
