Is Your Application Up to Standards?
Credit card fraud costs payment card companies more than $1 billion a year, and a compromised payment record can cost business owners as much as $305 per exposed record. And, according to Visa, vulnerable payment applications are the leading cause of cardholder data compromise among small merchants.
If your solution is designed to capture, process, store, or transmit credit card data, you are obligated to comply with one or more of the payment card industry security standards.
Why Compliance Matters
Right now, Credit Card Processors are contacting your customers requiring them to update to a PCI compliant environment or use a PA-DSS compliant application. This means that software companies who do not develop PA-DSS compliant solutions will soon be left behind their competitors who do, and will rapidly lose their reseller base.
Reduce Compliance Burden
The payments industry is complicated; writing software is complicated; the PA-DSS is complicated. Without the proper tools and guidance, a software company can easily lose its way. The PA-DSS Rapid Compliance Program provides software companies with the resources and specialized expertise needed to reduce compliance burden and manage a successful PA-DSS compliance validation in one simple program.
