The PCI Security Standards Council touches the lives of hundreds of millions of people worldwide. This is a global organization that maintains, evolves and promotes Payment Card Industry standards for the safety of cardholder data across the globe.

Who We Serve

We serve those who work with and are associated with payment cards. This includes: merchants of all sizes, financial institutions, point-of-sale vendors, hardware and software developers who create and operate the global infrastructure for processing payments.

What We Do

There are two priorities for our work:

1. Firstly, helping merchants and financial institutions understand and implement standards for security policies, technologies and ongoing processes that protect their payment systems from breaches and theft of cardholder data.
2. Secondly, helping vendors understand and implement standards for creating secure payment solutions.

Qualified Integrators And Resellers

Organizations qualified by PCI SSC as Qualified Integrator and Reseller Companies (QIR Companies) are authorized to implement, configure, and/or support validated PA-DSS Payment Applications on behalf of merchants or service providers for purposes of performing Qualified Installations as part of the QIR Program. Ultimately, the quality, reliability, and consistency of a QIR Company’s work provide confidence that the Payment Application has been implemented in a manner that supports the Customer’s PCI DSS compliance.
