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.
questions on IC Platinum I looked at your previous advice, seen the web site, and compared various products. I am thinking of getting the IC platinum plan. I just have a few questions to see if i understood the plan properly. To recap: 1) I am from and am a resident of Ireland. 35yrs old with no pre-existing illness. I am looking for a comprehensive plan that will also cover completely JUST AS WELL at home as it will worldwide including North America. I think the answer is yes but please confirm IC Platinum will do this. 2) I plan to take a year (or more) off and have various trips I want to do. In a period of 12 months I would guess that I estimate 7 months in Canada/America. Is this still ok or do i have to leave USA after 6 months regarding coverage in a 12 month period? 2b) If this is true does this include Canada or is this 6 month max only for the USA? 3) Do I really need comprehensive or would a fixed plan be better since I would only figure to be covered for severe accidents or severe illnesses that is unlikely to occur. 4) In Ireland do you have a PPO network or preferred list of hospitals/doctors you use? thank you Don
1. IC Platinum is worlding including home country. 2. 6 months restriction is only for US citizens, not for you. 2b. N/A 3. Comprehensive is better as what is covered is nearly same, how much is covered is what is different. 4. No. PPO concept is really in US.
