PCI DSS

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Sicherheitsrahmen fur Kartendaten.

Detaillierte Definition auf Englisch. Hospitality-Fachbegriffe (PMS, OTA, RevPAR, ADR) werden auch im deutschsprachigen Hotelbetrieb meist in der englischen Form verwendet.

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is the framework that governs how merchants handle credit-card data. Hotels processing card transactions must comply at the appropriate PCI level based on annual transaction volume. Modern payment processors (Stripe, Adyen, Mews Payments, Cloudbeds Payments) reduce PCI scope substantially through tokenisation, lowering the compliance burden.
