The Payment Method is Simple. The Security Risks are Not.

Organizations that have interaction with card data or work with companies that come in contact with card data are required to demonstrate how they are protecting their data. The experience and capabilities of unauthorized personnel to gain access to this data has increased over the years, making it critical that a company understand their responsibility to protect card data. Organizations that may be considered “in-scope” for Payment Card Industry (“PCI”) standards include (but not limited to):

  • Merchants
  • E-commerce organizations
  • Hospitality and travel organizations
  • Government departments
  • Utilities
  • Out-sourced billings and collections
  • Third-party processors
  • Data centers
  • Managed service providers
  • Logging and monitoring organizations
  • Data analytics
  • Loyalty programs
  • Call centers
  • Software as a Service (SaaS)
  • Platform as a Service (PaaS)
  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
