PCI Compliance

Visa, MasterCard and other Payment Brands have unique data security programs that require merchants to safeguard credit card processing data. These companies have adopted common industry security requirements referred to as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

Customers and businesses using electronic forms of payment expect their cardholder data to be stored securely and privately. Compass, in partnership with the Payment Brands, data security firms and card issuers, helps to educate merchants about data security and the mandatory industry requirements around the protection of data throughout the payment transaction process.

There are many data security firms, such as 403 labs, Corporation, that provide assessment services. 403 labs Corporation provides our merchants with special pricing for assessment and scanning services. Merchants reaching compliance using 403 labs Corporation's services receive the Trusted Commerce Seal. The Trusted Commerce Seal helps merchants communicate their compliance with PCI DSS to customers.
