Zendesk's Role in PCI DSS Compliance
What is Zendesk's role in PCI DSS compliance?
Zendesk is PCI DSS compliant as a merchant, but not as a billing system. As a merchant, Zendesk complies with PCI DSS standards. However, as a cloud-based service provider, Zendesk does not engage in the payment card processing lifecycle. While customers can use Zendesk to meet their business needs, it is not designed to transmit or store credit card data. For more details, visit theoriginal link.
