Today, customers are using Credit Cards and Debit Cards more than ever. As these types of payments become more popular, the need for increased security become more apparent. PCI Compliance is the Credit Card Industry’s response to this need.
What is PCI Compliance?
The PCI Security Standards Council, a group consisting of Payment Card companies like VISA and American Express, created the PCI DSS. This new standard in data collection and handling ensures a safer environment for customers using credit cards and debit cards. These standards affect all stages of card transactions, from processing to storage and transmission.
How does it affect you?
According to the PCI SSC, compliance with the new standards is mandatory for all payment processors, POS payment applications, and merchants of all sizes. If you process credit cards at your store location, the new security standard applies to you.
Are you liable?
Yes, merchants are liable for any card data breaches or thefts from their businesses, regardless of the number of cards affected. When you sign a credit
card processing agreement, you are agreeing to the card association’s requirements, and are committing to follow the PCI DSS.
How does Retail Star address issues of compliance?
Because Retail STAR 8.5 does not receive, store, or transmit sensitive credit card data, it is out of the scope of PCI DSS/PA-DSS.
