The PCI DSS is a multifaceted security standard that includes requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical protective measures. This comprehensive standard is intended to help organizations proactively protect customer account data.

The standard must constantly evolve in order to remain viable in today's rapidly changing internet and computing environment. Thus, the PCI DSS will be reviewed at least every 24 months, and can be updated at any time.
Plesk Customer & Business Manager version 7.0 available in Parallels Panel 10 has been certified as compliant under the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA DSS) 1.2. The PA DSS is a separate security standard that applies to software vendors that develop applications for sale to merchants to process and/or store cardholder data. Just because Plesk Customer & Business Manager has been certified as PA DSS 1.2 compliant does not automatically make you, as a merchant, PCI compliant. It is an important and necessary step toward that goal. Payment applications validated per the PA DSS, when implemented in a PCI DSS-compliant manner, will minimize the potential for security breaches leading to compromises of sensitive cardholder data, and the damaging fraud resulting from these breaches, and speed you on your way to PCI compliance.
