In an airport industry first, SITA today announced it has achieved Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) certification as a service provider of its common-use platform AirportConnect Open.
PCI DSS is the security standard developed by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide, and Visa Inc. to provide fraud protection to their cardholders.
Any organization that processes, stores or transmits cardholder data is required to comply with these security standards. To achieve compliance, a service provider must go through a thorough annual assessment.
