What is PCI DSS? • Payment Card Industry Data

Security Standard

• Enforced by PCI Security Standard Council

• Council formed by the five major card brands shown

#webclinic

What’s the goal?

• Cardholder data: – Primary account number – Cardholder name – Expiration date – Service code

• Sensitive authentication data:

– Full track data (from magnetic strip) – CAV2 / CVC2 / CVV2 / CID – PIN blocks

• Protect cardholder data and sensitive auth. data

#webclinic

What does it cover? • All components of the “cardholder data environment”

• Includes all people, processes, and

technology that handle cardholder data

Clients need your expertise

Offer new products and services for compliance Security is more than “compliance”, so offer enhanced protection

PCI DSS = Opportunity for IT Providers

Customer confidence Sales and revenue Reputation, brand damage Malpractice lawsuits Fines and penalties Cost of reissuing cards

business – Cost of breach can include containment,

forensic investigation, legal fees, audits, card replacement

How do I comply? • Ask your merchant acquirer to walk

you though the steps

• Small merchants typically must : 1. Complete a self assessment

questionnaire (SAQ) 2. Sign attestation of compliance 3. Send required documents to the

merchant acquirer
