Outsource your PCI DSS requirements
As of September 30th 2010, all online retailers have had to comply with the new payment card industry data security standards (PCI DSS).
PCI DSS is a global security standard set by the PCI Security Standards Council and applies to any business that stores, processes or transmits cardholder details.
Why is it so important to ensure you are PCI compliant?
The resulting fines levied by the card schemes (Visa & MasterCard) can be high. Daily fines can be levied and card processing facilities can be suspended if your system subsequently experiences a security breach. There is currently a €5 penalty for each customer record that is lost, therefore regardless of a business’ size, its exposure could be crippling.
"PCI DSS requirements are steep - the documentation runs to over 70 pages - so many businesses just don't have the space to do it for themselves. Outsourcing the entire payments process to specialist payment service providers, like ourselves, can side step the issue".
-Michael Norton, managing director, PayPoint.net
