PCI Compliance

Our FraudTrust™ fraud prevention service can help ensure your business meets all payment card industry security standards.

 

What is PCI Compliance?

The PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was created by the major credit card companies to ensure the adoption of consistent security measures by all merchants. There are 12 requirements for meeting the PCI DSS, broken into 6 groups:

 

  • Build and Maintain a Secure Network

    Requirement 2: Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters
  • Protect Cardholder Data
    Requirement 3: Protect stored cardholder data
    Requirement 4: Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks
  • Maintain a Vulnerability Management Program
    Requirement 5: Use and regularly update anti-virus software
    Requirement 6: Develop and maintain secure systems and applications
  • Implement Strong Access Control Measures
    Requirement 7: Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know
    Requirement 8: Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access
    Requirement 9: Restrict physical access to cardholder data
  • Regularly Monitor and Test Networks
    Requirement 10: Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data
    Requirement 11: Regularly test security systems and processes
  • Maintain an Information Security Policy
