How does PCI compliance benefit your business?

Complying with PCI Security Standards might seem daunting. Large organizations may find it difficult to deal with the maze of standards and issues, let alone smaller organizations. The key to ensuring compliance is having the right tools. Payment information has to be stored as encrypted or it will not work with any major payment card networks, such as Visa or MasterCard.

According to PCI SSC, there are major benefits of compliance, especially considering that failure to comply may result in serious and long-term consequences:

  • Your business’ reputation is improved with acquirers and payment brands when you are PCI compliant.
  • PCI Compliance ensures the security and trustworthiness of your systems so that your customers can give you their sensitive payment card information. Customers become confident in your business and will be more likely to buy more from you.
  • In the present and future, PCI compliance ensures security breaches and payment card data theft are prevented; implementing PCI compliance means contributing to a global payment card security solution.
  • Your PCI compliance efforts will help you get additional certificates, such as HIPAA, SOX, and others.

How important is PCI Compliance?

If an organization collects, transmits, maintains, or transfers credit card data, it must comply with PCI DSS, regardless of its size, value, or number of transactions. Anyone who uses Visa, MasterCard, or any other larger credit card company must comply with the data security standard.

If you do not achieve PCI compliance, you could suffer catastrophic results, according to the PCI SSC. Once you have built your brand and secured your customers’ sensitive information, don’t let them down. With a PCI-compliant business, you are protecting your customers and ensuring their loyalty. PCI non-compliance can lead to:

  • Consumers, merchants, and financial institutions are negatively affected when data is compromised.
  • Your reputation and future business ability will be severely damaged.
  • Breaches of account data can result in catastrophic loss of sales, relationships, and community standing; and public companies are often hit by declining stock prices as a result of data breaches.
