PCI DSS compliance is required of any merchants who store, transmit, or otherwise process sensitive credit card information. As technology and threats of intrusion evolve, so must your security measures. For that reason, merchants must also periodically validate their compliance to keep up with these changes.
These can become burdensome requirements for companies, which is why at Braintree Payment Solutions we can help you reach PCI DSS compliance in a timely and cost effective manner. What would normally be a complex system of security controls that could take months to implement, can now be integrated with your individual system in 30 to 60 days.
By relying on Braintree you can keep your costs low and security high. Now you can focus on your business rather than burdensome security requirements.
PCI DSS Requirements
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard was created to establish a common set of tools and measurements to ensure safe handling, processing, storing, and transmitting of sensitive credit card information.
The PCI DSS compliance covers everything from technical foundation requirements to testing methodologies. There are currently 12 security requirements.
- Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data.
- Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters.
- Protect stored data.
- Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks.
- Use and regularly update anti-virus software.
- Develop and maintain secure systems and applications.
- Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know.
- Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access.
- Restrict physical access to cardholder data.
- Track and monitor all access to cardholder data.
- Regularly test security systems and processes.
- Maintain a policy that addresses information security
