Important Components to Ensure PCI Compliance

Allowing customers to pay for a product or service with a credit card online is an incredible convenience for customers and a practical necessity, but requires PCI compliance.

In order to qualify to take credit card orders, you will need to be compliant with PCI compliance standard set forth by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.  There are several parts of PCI compliance that need to be taken into consideration.

Server PCI Compliance

One part of the PCI compliance that you will need to be in compliance with is server compliance.  You will need to have the proper controls on your computer server program that will help to protect the data that is stored on the server.  This will help to avoid and prevent any serious hacks from occurring and will keep your customer data safe.

Software PCI Compliance

While your hardware will need to be in compliance, your software will also need to be in PCI compliance. The software program will need to be able to properly protect all of the customer information throughout the online shopping process. This includes the process of putting items into a shopping cart, inputting credit card information, and submitting an order.

Changing Requirements

While there are PCI compliance regulations and expectations set forth today, it is important to remember that the regulations are constantly changing to keep up with changes in risks.  It is important to continue to stay on top of the regulations to ensure you continue to qualify to accept credit card payments.
