PCI DSS Compliance

What is PCI? The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) is a set of comprehensive
requirements for enhancing payment processing merchant account data security developed by the founding payment brands
of the PCI Security Standards Council, including American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB
International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa, to help facilitate adoption of consistent data security
measures on a global basis. More detailed information and a FAQ can be found on the Standards Council website. Learn more by viewing the video at the bottom of this page.

What does this mean to you? As a merchant accepting credit cards, you are required to provide
validation of PCI DSS compliance. This web page is a tool to help accomplish this goal. The table below
explains the requirements. Validation can be achieved in one of two ways: (1) Do it yourself;
or (2) utilize a Qualified Security Assessor (recommended), such as
