Security Policy Manuals

Do you know about the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, or PCI DSS? You are required to abide by these standards if you are processing credit or debit card information, or hiring a third-party service to do this for you. It’s often cited as the greatest potential liability facing merchants today.

Non compliance can be punishable by everything from fines to being held accountable for the total amount of fraudulent charges, including legal fees, card reissue fees and more. Your merchant services account could be cancelled; you could face lawsuits from ID theft victims. And if you’re found to be non-compliant, your insurance carrier most likely won’t cover you.
