This organisation was formed in 2006 to standardise payment gateway security by setting standards for safe use for all shoppers and businesses. Before its formation, the founding card companies (MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover Financial Services and JCB International) had their own policies, but they collaborated to strengthen and standardise best practices, which are adhered to today.
The PCI SSC is now independent of the companies, and is responsible for the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Companies that process online payments should abide by the standards, and must undergo regular validation in line with their size.
Online Payments with Safety at the Forefront
The cornerstones of PCI DSS compliance are as follows:
• Build and maintain a secure network
• Protect cardholder data
• Maintain a vulnerability management programme
• Implement strong access control measures
• Regularly monitor and test networks
• Maintain an information security policy
These cornerstones cover everything from encryption, firewalls, data storage and malware prevention to preventing physical access to data by unauthorised people, and together create the best possible scenario for preventing fraud – and being seen to do so.
The good news for you and your business is that Fido will take care of most of the technical aspects of PCI DSS compliance. We’ll explain your responsibilities and give you all the guidance you need to ensure your site is secure.
