PCI DSS Compliance Requirements

What is PCI Compliance?

Why is PCI Compliance Important?

E-commerce websites are susceptible to a number of risks and threats:

Credit card stealers put your customers at risk of identity theft or credit card fraud.

Hijacking causes loss of sales when customers are redirected to a fake shopping cart.

Injected website content can spread spam, malware, and malvertising.

Server resources can be stolen and used in malware campaigns, DDoS attacks, etc.

Hacked sites can be blocked by search engines, antivirus programs, and browsers.

Because there will always be some level of risk, security is a continuous process. A proper e-commerce security strategy requires frequent assessment and diligence.
