PCI DSS Compliance

Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance is an often discussed, rarely understood concept in the credit card acceptance arena. The major credit card brands; MasterCard, Visa, Discover, JCB and American Express, created an organization called the PCI Security Standards Council.  The goal of the Council is to create standards for data security within the payment processing industry in regards to credit card compliance.

PCI Compliance is not a federal law; however, in order to accept credit cards as a form of payment, merchants must be PCI Compliant or follow the PCI Compliance requirements.  Non-compliant merchants risk losing their ability to process credit cards and being audited and/or fined.  Thankfully, while there are several levels of compliance, most merchants qualify for a level that is inexpensive and easy to implement.
