The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council is a council formed by multiple card providers (such as American Express, Visa, MasterCard) in order to formalise a set of standards known as the Payment Card Industry Digital Security Standards. The PCI Digital Security Standards are formed to ensure that companies comply with a standard set of security policies when taking card payments online. SSL international standards are one of the twelve requirements outlined in the Digital Security Standards. When investing in your digital certificate, although the Digital Security Standards does not explicitly state you should have Extended Validation, it is a fantastic step to take to ensure the trust of your customers.
