PCI SSC releases guidelines on e-commerce security

Monday 4 February 2013 08:42 CET | News

The PCI Security Standards Council has released the PCI DSS E-commerce Guidelines, a new document which aims to help e-commerce companies understand and conform to the requirements of the PCI Data Security Standard.

In addition, the document includes two appendices to address specific PCI DSS requirements for e-commerce environments and for merchants and third parties scenarios.

According to Jeremy King, European director of the PCI Security Standards Council, cited by online media outlet SC Magazine UK, e-commerce continues to be a target for attacks on card data, especially with EMV technology helping drive so much of the face-to-face fraud down in Europe and other parts of the world. The purpose of the document is to help merchants and others understand how to secure this critical environment using the PCI standards.

The PCI SSC is a global, open industry standards body providing management of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), PIN Transaction Security (PTS) requirements and the PA-DSS.
