PCI compliance help and advice

You can't ignore PCI DSS Compliance

Much to the disgust of ecommerce business owners, the credit card companies are requiring banks to ensure customers that take payments via credit card become PCI compliant. If you don't become PCI compliant you could end up paying a fine or penalty.

Why is PCI Compliance important? PCI Compliance is being put in place to protect the consumer. Let's be honest most of your customers won't even know about PCI Compliance; they just trust that their credit card information and personal data is secure.

Regardless of these requirements, we think that the process of PCI Compliance makes good sense.

Do you need some help to become PCI Compliant?

For most businesses becoming compliant is quite easy. The minimum requirement is to complete an annual self assessment questionnaire (SAQ) and depending on your 'level' you may be required to carry out quarterly network scans. Our PCI Compliance service is aimed at helping ecommerce businesses become compliant by cutting through the jargon and giving advice on the necessary steps.

We will help you to:

• Select the right Self Assessment Questionnaire
• Complete your Self Assessment Questionnaire
• Choose the best solution for network vulnerability scanning

You need to do your homework

As a rule we never talk down other companies, but please be careful. It would seem with the hype of PCI Compliance there are many companies taking advantage of the situation and over charging. We have even heard from customers that some of the UK banks are using this as an opportunity to make money. Do your research and visit www.pcisecuritystandards.org for more information.
