CardConnect PCI compliance

CardConnect PCI compliance

If you use Card Connect for your credit card processing, you may be asked to complete a survey periodically to maintain PCI compliance. This is a process intended to verify and maintain proper levels of data security.  

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC). Founded in 2006 by the five biggest credit card providers: MasterCard, Visa, Discover, Amex and JCB International, the Council ensures that merchants (sellers and organizations) meet the required levels of security when they store, process and transmit cardholder data.

Being PCI compliant is not a requirement by law. However, it is highly advisable that merchants who accept card payments follow the regulations set by the PCI SSC to avoid any potential data infringement and to avoid hefty non-compliance fees. The requirements for becoming PCI compliant are relative to how your company operates.

Each level will require merchants to complete the relevant PCI DSS Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), provide evidence that the merchant has completed and passed a vulnerability scan with a PCI SSC Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV), and complete and submit the Attestation of Compliance (AOC) to your acquirer.
