The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) consists of many technical and organizational security measures, all aimed at providing the highest level of security for the processing and storage of credit card information. It is mandatory for all organisations that process, store, or transmit credit card data from major card scheme brands, whether it's physical cards or electronic payments. To comply with the PCI DSS, organisations must regularly test and validate their security measures.
The standard was established to improve checks surrounding cardholder data and thus reduce credit card fraud. Validation of compliance is performed annually by an external Qualified Security Assessor (QSA): FortyTwo Security.
Although we ourselves are not involved in the processing of credit card data, all of our LCL sites, including LCL Wallonia One, are PCI DSS 4.0 compliant. This shows that we are a secured data center and a reliable partner for customers who do process this type of data. Physical shielding of the equipment is the most important criterion that must be met.
