# PCI DSS v4.0.1 Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard ## Executive Summary The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a global information security standard designed to prevent fraud by increasing security controls around cardholder data. It applies to any organization that stores, processes, or transmits payment card data. This standard ensures that payment card information is protected throughout its entire lifecycle. **Current Version:** PCI DSS v4.0.1 (March 2024) **Supersedes:** PCI DSS v3.2.1 **Governing Body:** PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) **Transition Deadline:** March 31, 2025 (full compliance with v4.0.1 required) --- ## 1.
