PCI DSS
The Bunker is a certified PCI DSS Service Provider.
What is PCI DSS?
PCI DSS incorporates a set of comprehensive requirements for enhancing payment account data security. It was developed by the founding payment brands of the PCI Security Standards Council, including American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc. Inc. International, to help facilitate the broad adoption of consistent data security measures on a global basis.
The PCI DSS is a multifaceted security standard that includes requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical protective measures. This comprehensive standard is intended to help organisations proactively protect customer account data.
The PCI DSS applies to all entities that store, process, and/or transmit cardholder data. It covers technical and operational system components included in or connected to cardholder data. If you are a merchant who accepts or processes payment cards, you must comply with the PCI DSS.
The PCI DSS version 1.2 is the global data security standard adopted by the card brands for all organisations that process, store or transmit cardholder data. It consists of common sense steps that mirror best security practices.
How can The Bunker help me comply with PCI DSS digital security standards?
Many payment card transactions (such as debit in the U.S. and “chip and pin” in Europe) use PIN entry devices and computers connected by networks. By using network security controls, organisations can prevent criminals from virtually accessing payment system networks and stealing cardholder data.
Security is at the core of everything The Bunker does; it is in our DNA, it is the company culture. The experts that maintain this culture form part of the project team that design and build our packaged or bespoke products. These experts will be engaged in the design and deployment of your solution.
How can The Bunker help me comply with PCI DSS physical security standards?
Any physical access to data or systems that house cardholder data provides the opportunity for persons to access and/or remove devices, data, systems or hardcopies, and should be appropriately restricted.
