Collecting credit card information on your site? Beware! October 1, 2007
Posted by admin in : General News, IT Security Tips , add a commentThe Payment Card Industry (PCI) will begin enforcing compliance with their data security standard (DSS) on October 1st. What this enforcement means to the University of Michigan-Flint community is that university sites need to be extra careful about how they collect credit card data from customers. Failure to comply with the PCI DSS can lead to fines as well having your merchant account revoked (i.e you will no longer be able to process credit cards). You can find out more about the PCI DSS at https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/.
Any department or university affiliated organization that has not already migrated their forms to a secure location should contact the campus webmaster, Tim Todd, immediately if they are collecting credit card data on a website. Tim can assist as necessary to make sure your organization is meeting the PCI DSS.
