How to Get PCI DSS Compliantsubmitted on 1 November 2017
Accepting card payments is a vital prerequisite to growing any business. It’ll help you expand online, maximise sales and keep your customers happy – a win-win all round. But it’s not without its dangers.
With the convenience of card transactions and ability to service customers quickly and effectively, it can be easy to forget about the back-end security that is vital to making this whole process work. Every customer, every card is a potential goldmine for fraudsters. You wouldn’t leave the door to your shop open at night or your cash drawer open, so why take any greater risks with card data?
The rise of payment card crime led to the establishment of PCI DSS, an industry initiative to protect the security of card data. Achieving compliance is the best way to protect against card fraud and theft, as well as avoid fines in the event of a security breach. But how can a small business owner navigate the complexities of keeping card data safe?
Fortunately, any good payment provider will have a dedicated PCI DSS programme, and will walk through each business through the steps to achieve the right level of compliance.
One of the easiest ways to offer secure electronic payments is with a trackable payment link. Services such as Pay by Link offer a secure way to pay without the need for a website, offering a hassle-free way to meet PCI-CSS requirements.
Ask your payment provider how you can get PCI DSS-compliant, and start your journey towards a more secure business - for you and your customers.
