Payment Card Industry Card Security Standards

Initiatives that the Flo2Cash Security Team takes to help protect your privacy and safeguard your information, as well as how Flo2Cash can help you reduce your costs in becoming PCI-DSS compliant.

PCI-DSS Compliance

The PCI DSS is a multifaceted security standard that includes requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical protective measures.

PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. It was developed by the major credit card companies as a guideline to help organizations that process card payments prevent credit card fraud, cracking and various other security vulnerabilities and threats. A company processing, storing, or transmitting payment card data must be PCI DSS compliant or risk losing their ability to process credit card payments and being audited and/or fined. Merchants and payment card service providers must indicate their compliance periodically, which for most merchants is done by completing a Self-Assessment Questionnaire. For some merchants, validation gets conducted by auditors - i.e. persons who are the PCI DSS Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs). Although individuals receive QSA status reports on compliance can only be signed off by an individual QSA on behalf of a PCI council approved consultancy.

How can Flo2Cash help me reduce my PCI-DSS compliance costs?

All solutions and products provided and hosted by Flo2Cash are PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, previously known as Visa AIS and MasterCard SDP) compliant. These products include recurring payments and Web2Pay web service, which eliminates the needs for merchants to store sensitive card data and comply with costly PCI-DSS compliance whilst still have the ability to recharge the cards for recurring payments.

The process is simple and does not require much change to your existing business processes.
