What is PCI Compliance?
|
PCI Compliance applies to all businesses or merchants, regardless of size, who acquire banks, are independent sales organizations, processors, hosts, shopping carts, e-commerce and retail merchants. All merchants who store, process or transmit card holder data must now be compliant. You may refer to your merchant bank for specific validation requirements.
A SSL (Secure Certificate) is not a valid PCI compliance requirement. Its purpose is to secure connection between customer's browser and web server, as well as, validation of a Website organization. To be PCI compliant you must protect credit card information.
