PCI
Computer card slot
PCI is an abbreviation with several meanings depending on context.
In computing, it stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect—a standard for connecting hardware components like graphics cards and network adapters to a computer's motherboard.
In finance and retail, PCI refers to Payment Card Industry, particularly the PCI DSS (Data Security Standard) that governs how businesses handle credit card information: We need to maintain PCI compliance.
