Electronic fraud is one of the primary threats to the e-commerce ecosystem. Digital data and information are at risk of being compromised by cybercriminals seeking financial gain, whether through financial or private information.

Businesses that accept credit or debit cards as payment methods must consider the importance of using a payment gateway certified in PCI DSS.

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a security standard that defines the set of requirements for managing security, including security policies and procedures, network architecture, software design, and all types of protection measures involved in handling, processing, or storing credit card information. Its purpose is to reduce payment card-related fraud and increase the security of these data.

Any organization that processes, transmits, or stores payment card data must comply with the requirements established by PCI DSS.

SciTechCyber, through its accredited partners, is certified by the PCI SSC via its QSA certificate to conduct onsite audits for companies that require them due to their annual transaction volume.
