What does PCI-DSS stand for?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an industry requirement for securing cardholder data worldwide. Established by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC)—which consists of American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide, and Visa Inc.—the PCI DSS must be followed if an organization wishes to process, store, or transmit the cardholder data of their customers issued by these card brands.
