PCI Data Security

Protect Your Cardholder Data

Visa^®, MasterCard^® and other payment brands have adopted common industry security requirements referred to as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

Customers and businesses using electronic forms of payment expect their cardholder data to be stored securely and privately. In partnership with the payment brands, data security firms and card issuers, we help educate merchants about data security and the mandatory industry requirements around the protection of data through the payment transaction process.

There are many data security firms that provide PCI assessment services. We work with Trustwave Corporation to provide our merchants with special pricing for assessment and scanning services. Merchants reaching compliance using Trustwave Corporation's services receive the Trusted Commerce Seal. The Trusted Commerce Seal helps merchants communicate their compliance with PCI DSS to customers. Learn more about Trustwave Products & Services.
