PCI compliance is commonly known as the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). Since 2006, it is a mandatory standard for all websites wishing to take a card type payment for anything, no matter how small. For this reason, consumers, webmasters and website owners everywhere need to know if a website is compliant. They also need to know how to tell if a website is PCI compliant so they may protect themselves and their investments from Internet fraud. Writer Bio
