Global Payments wants you to be aware of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and how it can help protect your business. The card associations developed the PCI DSS to help strengthen data security at the merchant level and combat credit card data compromises. Merchants with point-of-sale (POS) systems and computers with an internet connection are at significant risk for having sensitive data – such as customer credit card data – stolen. This kind of theft from security breaches at merchant locations – both large and small – has cost merchants millions of dollars in fines, restitution, and reputation. Complying with PCI DSS is a merchant's responsibility. In the near future Global Payments will provide a link to a secure Global Payments Inc. page to help you identify if you are using PCI compliant systems.
