Croatia’s Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards Get Boost with New Partnership

The PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) has announced a new partnership aimed at strengthening data security standards in the payment card industry, particularly in Croatia.

Enhanced Data Security Standards for Croatia’s Payment Card Industry

As part of this initiative, the council will provide authorized training to offer management of:

• Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS): A set of guidelines designed to ensure secure handling and storage of sensitive credit card information.
• PIN Transaction Security (PTS) requirements: Guidelines for securing PINs and preventing unauthorized access to payment card transactions.
• Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DS): Standards for ensuring the security of payment applications, such as point-of-sale systems.

Reduced Risk of Cyber Threats and Data Breaches

This new partnership is expected to enhance data security standards in Croatia’s payment card industry, reducing the risk of cyber threats and data breaches. By providing authorized training and management of these standards, merchants and service providers can ensure a more secure environment for their customers’ sensitive information.

Key Benefits of the Partnership

The partnership between the PCI SSC and other organizations is a significant step towards strengthening data security standards in Croatia’s payment card industry. This initiative will help protect sensitive information and prevent financial losses due to cyber threats and data breaches.
