PCI DSS Certification

What is PCI DSS Certification?

PCI DSS is a widely adopted and standardized Quality Management System (QMS) for the Aerospace industry. The aerospace community has specific requirements that need to be taken into account, and the QMS needs to incorporate these critical requirements. The PCI DSS Certification was introduced in 1997 by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) based on the internationally recognized standard ISO 9001 in order to encourage International quality, safety, and technology standards in air transport. The certification can be applied to all areas in aviation like design and manufacture of equipment, airport and airline operations, aircraft accessory supply, spares supply, and maintenance.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an Information Security Standard for organizations that handle branded credit cards from major card schemes. PCI DSS is a standard that all organizations and online retailers must follow when storing, processing, and transmitting their customer’s credit card data. PCI DSS compliance is one of the most stringent and most coveted security standards in the industry today. With 6 goals, 12 requirements, and over 300 sub-requirements, PCI compliance helps businesses to reduce and minimize the risk of their payment systems getting breached and theft of cardholder data.
