The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements created to guarantee that all companies that require and utilize credit card information maintain a secure environment.<\/p>\n

Launched on September 7, 2006, the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC)<\/strong> manages the continuous development of Payment Card Industry (PCI)<\/u> security standards with the focus on enhancing payment account security in every part of the transaction process<\/strong>. The PCIDSS is administered and managed by the PCI SSC, an independent body that was created by the major payment card brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JCB).<\/p>\n

\"cwatch<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember, the payment brands and acquirers are accountable for enforcing compliance<\/strong>, not the PCI council.<\/p>\n

Do You Conduct PCI Scans Regularly?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you're not having regular scans, your business may be out of PCI compliance and you may experience a data security breach. A breach means that someone has compromised your system<\/strong> and gotten a hold on of your customer data. You can lose a ton of money – or worse – your whole business.<\/p>\n

Penalties and Fines<\/strong><\/p>\n

The penalties for a breach when you're not PCI compliant can range from a slap on the wrist to significant fines<\/strong>. Issuing banks and credit card processors can be fined up to $500,000 for regulatory compliance violations. These costs are inevitably passed on to you, the merchant.<\/p>\n

Noncompliance Damage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Merchants who lose their accounts are placed in the Visa\/MasterCard Terminated Merchant File and are ineligible for another merchant account for several years. It irredeemably destroys your credibility<\/strong>, customer loyalty and, ultimately, your entire business. The results are devastating.<\/p>\n

How Can You Stay Compliant?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ensure PCI compliance with a web security service<\/a> that satisfies most compliance mandates immediately. With Comodo cWatch, you get a secure environment for your site and extensive sets of reports that are required by compliance authorities.<\/p>\n
