PCI

Definitions

1. In security and compliance contexts, shorthand for the payment card industry environment and its associated security requirements for handling cardholder data. Teams often use 'PCI' informally to refer to the controls, audits, and segmentation needed around payment systems.

   In plain English: A shorthand reference to payment-card security and compliance requirements.

   Example: "The new checkout service had to be reviewed for PCI impact before it could touch any payment authorization flow."
