The main concern around PCI Compliance is preventing fraud, both with customer passwords or details as well as credit cards. It is essentially a list of rules and standards which reflect how well your whole organization is protecting the sensitive data of any person you gather any kind of information on.
Specifically, when it comes to online donations PCI Compliance is concerned with how the donor’s personal and credit card information is stored and protected.
