The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)—which was developed by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) created by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JCB—is an extensive set of technical and operational standards that a company needs to follow to ensure that all companies that process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment.
There are many stringent requirements, including but not limited to:
PCI DSS has six major objectives, 12 key requirements, 78 base requirements, and over 400 test procedures. Click here for more information.
When a business is PCI-compliant, it means that that the business reviews and follows the guidelines set forth by the credit card companies to help ensure your credit card information is protected and your personal information is secure.
I have been backwards and forwards on the site for Atlas International and nowhere can I find information on what the company will or will not insure as far as trekking is concerned. I'm leaving later in the year for a 4 month trip to Egypt, Jordan, Dubai, Nepal and India and during the trip will be trekking in Nepal for about a month. I was going to go with World Nomads because their policy allows for heights up to 6000 meters (I'll be hitting two high points of around 5300 meters on my trek) but I can't find ANYTHING under Atlas for trekking. Other than that the policy looks fine and is actually marginally better than that for World Nomads. Could someone please clarify this for me?
Thank you for contacting Insubuy.
Trekking in the Atlas International plan would be covered under the Mountaineering benefit but the elevation is a maximum of 4500 meters so this would not meet your needs for height. There are plans that will do a higher elevation. Please see this link for the available plans:
