PCI Compliance - Is your business PCI DSS compliant? | EarthLink Business

A single credit card data breach could put your business...out of business.

The PCI Security Standards Council has issued comprehensive requirements that all merchants who accept credit cards must follow to protect cardholder data. Implementing PCI Data Security Standards (DSS) helps to reduce the risk that your business suffers from credit card data theft, which is one of the largest threats to merchants today.

Credit Card Data Breach Statistics

Some experts forecast that as many as one in six merchants will be breached.*
Small businesses are particularly vulnerable; according to Visa, 97% of U.S. events occurred at small merchants, and 91% of those were brick and mortar merchants.**

The PCI Compliance Validation Service with Data Breach Protection helps small, medium and large retail businesses in meeting its PCI compliance requirements. The Data Breach Protection provides for reimbursement of merchants for certain expenses resulting from a data breach event.
