PCI - Compliance and Auditing
Why PCI?
In response to the increasing occurrences of credit card data theft by hackers, Visa and MasterCard have developed the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. This standard is also being enforced by American Express, Discover Card and JCB. The PCI standard mandates that merchants and service providers meet certain minimum standards of security when they store, process and transmit cardholder data. It must be implemented by all merchants and their web hosts, shopping cart vendors and payment service providers. If a data breech occurs, those who are not in compliance, face fines of up to $500,000 and the possibility of being bared from accepting credit card payments of any kind.
