Looking Beyond PCI Compliance: More Ways to Increase Security
In the past few years, there has been a significant effort to curb debit and credit card fraud, especially through the integration of mobile and EMV payment processing. However, while these platforms tend to be effective shields against bogus payments, merchants should still seek to do more when it comes to ensuring they and their customers aren’t hit by fraud on a regular basis.
What is PCI Compliance and How Does it Affect My Business?
The PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a set of standards that are put in place to ensure that all companies accept, process, store, and/ or transmit cardholder data (i.e., credit card information) in the safest possible manner. The PCI DSS is run by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is an independent body founded by the five largest credit card companies.
