New credit card compliance requirement – ScanAlert free service
There have been numerous reported instances in the news of late documenting credit card theft from online merchants. In order to reduce this activity, Visa and Mastercard plan to require all merchants to be tested by an approved security company to meet the new Payment Card Industry (PCI) web site security standard. The tentative deadline for meeting this requirement is June 30, 2005.
Merchants not tested and certified to be compliant with the PCI standard by June 30th risk fines and loss of the ability to accept credit card payments. This new program is being adopted by the credit card companies in an effort to combat credit card fraud.
LexiConn has arranged to make the first year of PCI compliance testing available to you at no cost via ScanAlert, the world’s largest web site security certification company. This quarterly scanning includes everything you need to be certified to the PCI security standard. Should you choose to continue the service after the first year, the price is locked in at just $19.00 per year, which is well below the retail rate of $149.00 advertised by ScanAlert.
There is no obligation to continue the service after the first year, and having your site receive the PCI compliance testing can only benefit your account standing with your merchant provider as you would be properly addressing their compliance regulations.
