PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. This is a set of rules that businesses must follow if they take payments with credit or debit cards. These rules help keep credit or debit card info safe. Intuit has teamed up with SecurityMetrics, a company that knows a lot about PCI compliance, to help you meet PCI requirements.

PCI DSS requirements

If you don't follow PCI rules, you could get fined, have to pay for audits, and face more limits. How you process credit cards decides which rules you need to follow.

  1. Keep your network safe
  2. Set up your systems correctly
  3. Protect stored card data
  4. Keep data safe when it’s sent over the internet
  5. Use protection against viruses and bad software
  6. Keep your systems up to date
  7. Control who can access the data

  9. Keep your place of business secure
  10. Keep track of what happens in your systems
