Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.
The PCI DSS, or "Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard," was established by international payment systems (VISA, MasterCard, and others) to protect payment card data. Certification has been mandatory for organizations working with bank cards since 2012.
Hosting your IT infrastructure with a certified provider, depending on the selected hosting type, allows the client to automatically comply with up to half of the PCI DSS requirements—this significantly saves resources when complying with the requirements of international payment systems.
