The good news is that you can help to avoid misuse via the PCI-DSS standard, short for ‘Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard’. This standard was created by Visa International, MasterCard International, American Express, JCB and Discover collectively. If you do not comply with this standard, you can be held responsible for eventual damages. This can lead to very high penalties. So, read on!
