The PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is the payment card industry’s rigorous information security standard which applies to all organizations that store, process, and/or transmit cardholder data. Achieving PCI compliance and certification requires that all system components that handle or access cardholder data must afford and maintain the strictest level of security controls—technically, operationally, and physically.  PayPro attains the Risk Associates Europe Certification.
