The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard Explained In Very Basic Terms
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an information security standard for organizations that handle cardholder information for the major debit, prepaid, e-purse, credit, POS, and ATM cards.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was created by the PCI Security Standards Council. The main function of the PCI Standard is to reduce the amount of payment card fraud on the Internet and augment credit card data security. Every establishment that stores, transmits or processes cardholder data must conform with the PCI DSS, which is imposed by the ‘acquiring bank’ through whom you have the merchant account.
The Standard essentially wants merchants and member service providers (MSPs) who store, process or transmit cardholder data to; Protect cardholder data, Build and sustain a secure IT network, Keep up a vulnerability management program, Frequently monitor and test networks, Keep an information security policy and Apply strong access control measures.
The PCI DSS relates to any category of media on which card data can be held – including hard disk drives, floppy disks, magnetic tape and back up media, but also encompasses printed/handwritten credit & debit card receipts where the full card number is printed. These receipts are frequently held by merchants as a paper record of the transaction and might be used for voucher recovery purposes, or as evidence of the transaction if the acquirer issues a request for information (RFI). The card number must be held in full and therefore the receipts must be stored securely.
So what happens for those that don’t comply with the PCI DSS? Well, and here I quote from the official IT Governance website; “The PCI Security Standards Council encourages all businesses that store payment account data to comply with the PCI DSS to help lower their brand and financial risks associated with account payment data compromises. The PCI Security Standards Council does not manage compliance programs and does not impose any consequences for non-compliance. Individual payment brands, however, may have their own compliance initiatives, including financial or operational consequences to certain businesses that aren’t compliant.”
In other words – each payment provider will take what action it believes it can make stick, commercially, to impose the PCI DSS. There are no standardised penalties across all the payment brands, and the PCI council has no plans to create any. So it’s all up to you!
