The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was developed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. 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 card-holder 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 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.
