PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
The PCI DSS applies to all entities that store, process, and/or transmit cardholder data. It
covers technical
and operational system components included in or connected to cardholder data. If you accept
or process payment cards, PCI DSS applies to you.
Sensitive Authentication Data
Merchants, service providers, and other
entities involved with payment card processing must never store sensitive authentication
data after
authorization. This includes the 3- or 4- digit security code printed on the front or back of a card
(CVD), the data stored on a card's magnetic stripe or chip (also called "Full Track Data") - and
personal identification numbers (PIN) entered by the cardholder.
