What is PCI DSS?

To help prevent payment card fraud, the Payment Card Industry (PCI) has established a single set of security standards - PCI DSS.

Payment card data divides into two groups:

• Customer identifiable data such as name and address
• Sensitive authentication data: printed security code and magnetic stripe data

Section 3.2 of PCI DSS states that no sensitive authentication data may be stored once a transaction has been authorised. This directive does apply to call centres which use call recording.
