What is PCI Compliance?
PCI-DSS Compliance is a credit card industry acronym that stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard:
These standards ensure a level of protection for consumers, businesses, and banks from online fraud and data breaches.
This means that all businesses should practice a set of PCI standards as well as host their data securely with a PCI compliant hosting provider.
The PCI compliant hosting provider for Schedulicity is our Payment Processor, Clearent, Adyen, & Stripe.
PCI compliance is required by credit card companies to make online transactions secure and protect consumers against identity theft.
Any business that wants to process, store, or transmit credit card data is required to be PCI compliant, according to the PCI Compliance Security Standard Council.
