CREDIT CARD SECURITY The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) represents a common set of industry tools and measurements to help prevent, detect and react to security incidents. Failure to comply may result in fines or limitations on access to the credit card networks. The PCI DSS covers two key areas of security: Technical foundation and requirements: The PCI DSS details technical requirements for the secure storage, processing and transmission of cardholder data. Testing methodologies: The PCI DSS provides for common auditing and scanning procedures, as well as a common security self-assessment questionnaire. As required by the PCI DSS, the ACI On Demand environment has been certified by an external auditor to ensure that all PCI general requirements are met for both the software and the aggregate operating environment. Annual audits are conducted to ensure continued compliance. ACI ON DEMAND SERVICE ADMINISTRATION Over 2,000 staffers around the world support ACI s products and services.
