There is much concern over the perceived lack of Security of transaction data
when trading or purchasing across the Internet. However, there are many
practices that can be adopted to minimise these risks. Simple measures, like
regular back-ups, a firewall to block unwanted traffic and basic virus
protection procedures may be all your company needs. If you are unsure then it
is best to get the advice of a security consultant.
We have compiled an
Information Security
Best Practice Guide to help you
to comply with the complex rules surrounding the security of cardholder
information. Please read the Guide carefully and apply its rules in the
day-to-day operation of your business. The rules given here are more than just
‘advice’, as all parties have an obligation to keep all cardholder data secure.
The Guide is particularly relevant to Internet retailers, especially as the
Card Schemes require that you take extra steps to prevent the possibility of
your Card data becoming available via the Internet.
