          10 Common Myths About
               PCI Compliance

  1. One vendor and one product will make us compliant.

  2. Outsourcing card processing makes us compliant.
  3. PCI compliance is an IT project.
  4. Being PCI compliant will make my company secure.
  5. PCI is unreasonable; it requires too much.
  6. PCI requires all merchants to hire a Qualified Secure Assessor.
  7. We don't take enough credit cards to be compliant.
  8. We completed a SAQ so we're compliant.
  9. PCI makes us store cardholder data.
  10. PCI is too hard. 

 

    As a merchant that currently accepts credit cards, you are responsible for protecting the cardholder data you handle. If you are a small merchant, you are a prime target for data thieves, who are looking for cardholder data. If cardholder data is stolen – and it’s your fault – you could incur fines, penalties, even termination of the right to accept payment cards! 

         Why should you, as a merchant, comply
                with the PCI Security Standards?

    At first glance, especially if you are a smaller company, it may seem like a lot of effort, and the self assessment questionnaires are confusing. But not only is compliance becoming increasingly important, it may not be as hard as you expected.

    Compliance with data security standards can bring major benefits to businesses because as a result your company will be more secure and have the missing policies and procedures in place. On the other hand, failure to comply can have serious and long-term negative consequences. Here are some reasons why:

  • Compliance with the PCI DSS means that your systems are secure, and customers can trust you with their sensitive payment card information. Meaning your customers have confidence in doing business with you, repeatedly and recommend you to others.
  • Compliance improves your reputation with acquirers and payment brands -- the partners you need in order to do business
  • Compliance is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. It helps prevent security breaches and theft of payment card data, not just today, but in the future:
  • Compliance has indirect benefits as well: Through your efforts to comply with PCI Security Standards, you’ll likely be better prepared to comply with other regulations as they come along, such as HIPAA, SOX, etc. You’ll have a basis for a corporate security strategy and you will likely identify ways to improve the efficiency of your IT infrastructure
  • But if you are not compliant, it could be disastrous. You may incur fines and penalties, lose the ability to accept credit or debit cards, you customer’s will lose confidence and buy from someone else, lose sales, incur legal costs and significant fines and ultimately go out of business

    We have found that even though there are many resources available on the web, the requirements are daunting for non-IT professionals. Within the past year we have helped numerous businesses become compliant by going step by step with them through the process.
