PCI Compliance

is mandatory for businesses to accept credit cards

It is critical that you take a few short steps immediately to validate PCI Compliance for your company

Protecting your customers cardholder information is critical to your business and to us. Since 2004, more than 234 million credit/debit card records have been compromised. The five major card companies (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and JCB) created the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Council to establish a standard set of guidelines around the handling of card holder data by merchants.

To achieve protection, every merchant that accepts payment by credit/debit card, regardless of merchant size or transaction volume, must meet the standards established by PCI Council and submit an attestation of compliance annually. Merchants that are not compliant face huge financial and operational penalties if cardholder information is lost or stolen at their business. It is also important to remember that losing your customers cardholder information could cost you those customers and any potential customers that hear about the breach.

Chesapeake Payment Systems has partnered with ControlScan, an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) to streamline the validation process and assist you in understanding and meeting the requirements needed to validate and maintain PCI compliance. ControlScans easy-to-use solution and detailed level of support make achieving compliance less complicated.
