PCI Compliance Service
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an international set of requirements put together by the
Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC). The PCI DSS
is designed to ensure that ALL companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment.
What does it mean for E-Commerce and online Merchants?
If you take credit cards directly on your web site then you must enhance your web sites security as dictated by the Payment
Card Industry (PCI). On October 23, 2007, Visa mandated
that:
| Date |
Visa Mandate |
Which Means... |
| As of 10/1/2008 |
"Newly boarded Level 3 and 4 merchants must be PCI DSS compliant or use PABP-compliant applications" |
If you get a new credit card merchant account for your web site after 10/1/2008, you must have either PCI compliant hosting or you must use PA-DSS certified e-commerce software. |
| As of 7/1/2010 |
"Acquirers must ensure their merchants, VNPs and agents use only PABP-compliant applications" |
As of 7/1/2010, you must use PA-DSS certified e-commerce software on your web site. |
