In 2004, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB jointly established a set of rules that all merchants, regardless of size or type, must follow in order to accept their payment cards. These rules are known as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI DSS.

PCI DSS is designed to protect cardholder data by improving the security of data transactions. Every time a customer makes a payment, they provide sensitive information such as their name, account number and card verification value – placing a great deal of trust in the organization processing the payment. Failure to comply with PCI DSS destroys that trust and results in severe penalties, including loss of the right to accept payment cards and brand damage.

To ensure the secure processing of customer payment information in accordance with PCI DSS, start with these six important steps:

• Install and maintain a firewall on your network.
• Encrypt all transmissions of cardholder data over public networks.
• Regularly update anti-virus software on all systems frequently affected by malware.
• Ensure that only authorized personnel have access to confidential cardholder data.
• Monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data.
• Create and maintain a cardholder data security policy.
