VRM Swansea are PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliant for your security and peace of mind
A recent survey of businesses in the UK revealed that only 12% are operating safe and secure practises to a internationally recognised security standard when it comes to handling your personal data and in particular your payment (Credit or debit) card data. Security breaches involving the theft of payment card data are costly and time consuming to rectify. Your identity may even be cloned without your knowledge.
Our operational business infrastructure is compliant to the PCI DSS, which is a worldwide security standard assembled by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC).
The PCI security standards are technical and operational requirements that were created to help organisations that process card payments to prevent credit card fraud, hacking and various other security vulnerabilities and threats.
The standards apply to all organisations that store, process or transmit cardholder data - with guidance for software developers and manufacturers of applications and devices used in those transactions. A company processing, storing, or transmitting cardholder data should be PCI DSS compliant.
The Standard requires merchants who store, process or transmit cardholder data to:
- Build and maintain a secure IT network
- Protect cardholder data
- Maintain a vulnerability management program
- Implement strong access control measures
- Regularly monitor and test networks
- Maintain an information security policy
