PCI Compliance WHO ARE THE FOUNDERS OF THE PCI SECURITY STANDARDS COUNCIL? Founders of the PCI Security Standards Council are American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB, Mastercard Worldwide and Visa International.

WHAT IS THE PAYMENT CARD INDUSTRY (PCI) DATA SECURITY STANDARD (DSS)?

The PCI Data Security Standard represents a common set of industry tools and measurements to help ensure the safe handling of sensitive information. Initially created by aligning Visa’s Account Information Security (AIS)/ Cardholder Information Security (CISP) Programs with Mastercard’s Site Data Protection (SDP) program and Discover Information Security Compliance (DISC), the standard provides an actionable framework for developing a robust account data security process—including preventing, detecting and reacting to security incidents.

The core of the PCI DSS is a group of principles and accompanying requirements, around which the specific elements of the DSS are organized:

BUILD AND MAINTAIN A SECURE NETWORK •

•

Requirement 1: Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data Requirement 2: Do not use vendorsupplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters

IMPLEMENT STRONG ACCESS CONTROL MEASURES •

Requirement 7: Restrict access to cardholder data by business on a needto-know basis

•

Requirement 8: Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access

•

Requirement 9: Restrict physical access to cardholder data

PROTECT CARDHOLDER DATA •

•

Requirement 3: Protect stored cardholder data Requirement 4: Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks

REGULARLY MONITOR AND TEST NETWORKS •

Requirement 10: Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data

•

Requirement 11: Regularly test security systems and processes

MAINTAIN A VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM •

•

Requirement 5: Use and regularly update anti-virus software Requirement 6: Develop and maintain secure systems and applications

MAINTAIN AN INFORMATION SECURITY POLICY •

Requirement 12: Maintain a policy addressing information security

Avoiding Chargebacks Chargebacks occur when your customers contact their credit card issuing bank to initiate a refund for purchases made on their card.

CHARGEBACK MANAGEMENT: •

•

•

Use a clear company name customers will recognize. An unrecognized DBA name on billing statements is one of the most common causes of chargebacks.

Be reachable (put your company phone number and/or website on your invoices) and communicate promptly. A limited amount of time (10 business days) is available to resolve a chargeback.

Obtain authorization for the full amount of the sale. Declined transactions should not be accepted or split into smaller amounts.

•

Encourage Chip & PIN payments.

•

Use the fraud services offered by the Processing Bank including AVS (Address Verification), CID and CVV2.

•

Never accept an expired credit card.

•

Clearly state your refund policy on your website and in your business location.

•

Establish a clear policy in case of complaints regarding product quality. Work closely with the customer to establish a mutually satisfactory resolution.

Fraud Protection Guide Be alert when purchases are made through the phone or over the internet. Several common fraud schemes begin this way.

FRAUD - WHAT TO LOOK FOR: •

Customers emailing credit card numbers.

Always follow up email orders with a telephone call.

•

Customer offering more than one card.

While many of us do carry more than one credit card in our wallet, it is not usual for a customer to try different credit card numbers after repeated declines or similar error messages.

•

Orders placed by a telephone relay service. Fraudsters use these services to gain the sympathy and trust of a merchant, then obtain products with a stolen card.

•

Customers who seem to care little for the finer details of their order. Fraudsters will often seem careless to the amount being charged, the colors, sizes, models, etc.

•

Be wary of orders with domestic billing addresses and international shipping addresses.

•

Most cardholders will be confident in the buying power of their credit card. If a customer is contacting you to confirm if the transaction was successful, or to obtain the 6-digit authorization code received on your terminal, you should regard that customer as suspicious.

•

Messages to look out for: Lost Card (or LC, combined with another message like Please Call), Pick Up Card, Restricted Card, Please Call. If you get these messages, please call our client care center.

•

Wire scams. Be suspicious when a customer who shops online requests the value of the purchased item as well as an additional amount of money to be charged on their credit card. Fraudsters would typically request the excess amount to be wired to them through a currency exchange office to presumably pay for alternate shipping arrangements.

3D Secure v2 Take advantage of our out-of-the-box end-to-end solutions for 3D-Secure, a security protocol offering additional protection for online credit and debit transactions.

Client Fraud Rules Fraud-detection rules are implemented by default on every account to streamline monitoring. The rules can be viewed in the Client Fraud Rules tab inside Control Panel. These rules help automatically reject fraudulent transactions or flag them to be manually reviewed by an expert, which helps save you time and effort while minimizing losses.

Risk Dashboard Track risk/fraud KPIs, monitor activity and regulation limits, and make decisions in real-time using your customized Risk Dashboard. Use it to view various reports for managing chargebacks, reviewing flagged transactions or users, and much more!

Our Client Care center is here to help. If you have any questions about fraud protection, do not hesitate to contact us: 1 833 216-0128 globalsupport@merchant-support.com
