CamperReg & PCI Compliance
What is PCI Compliance?
PCI Compliance, otherwise known as PCI DSS Compliance, stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, and outlines the requirements and guidelines set forth by a joint effort of Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover to regulate and control the storage and protection of cardholder data wherever it may reside. These industry wide standards for credit card security are enforced on both merchants and vendors alike.
These regulations were created in response to the growing frequency and severity of credit card data theft online and apply to all e-commerce merchants.
How does this affect me?
By utilizing the CamperReg system you are accepting online registrations, and in doing so are collecting corresponding payment information including credit card numbers, mailing addresses, and cardholder name. This means you are in the business of e-commerce and you MUST be PCI Complaint.
To become PCI compliant you could go through the time consuming and costly process of developing internal practices and payment card data security policies that adhere to the strict PCI guidelines. Or, you can choose a hosted program that is already PCI Compliant. Rest assured, CamperReg has done the hard work for you!
