Why PCI-DSS compliance matters for travel agencies
PCI-DSS is often seen as a regulatory burden. In reality, it's a competitive advantage for travel agencies.
What PCI-DSS requires
PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) imposes a set of technical and organizational controls:
- encryption of payment data at rest and in transit
- network segmentation, logging, and regular penetration tests
- strict access policy, secret management, audit trails
- change governance and business continuity planning
Why this matters for your agency
A card-data breach costs anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of euros — without counting the loss of trust and regulatory penalties.
But there's also the flip side: your customers trust you with their payments. PCI-DSS-compliant infrastructure makes that trust credible.
