Data Security Compliance & PCI DSS Merchant Levels

From fraud prevention tips to innovative security technologies, we provide powerful resources to help keep your business safe and secure.

PCI DSS compliance

Everyone storing, processing or transmitting cardholder information is required to follow the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). It consists of 12 basic requirements grouped in 6 categories for establishing and maintaining a reliable and secure payment processing environment. Partner with your acquirer to provide secure transactions for all customers using the PCI DSS. First, review the guidelines, and then check to see that you meet the related requirements.

Compliance validation

Take the time to see that you’ve met all requirements of the PCI DSS. It’s the best way to confirm cardholder data is being safely handled and to expose any weaknesses that need to be addressed. Your total Visa transaction volume over a 12-month period determines your merchant level** and the necessary requirements for validation.

** Merchant level identification is based on the corporate entity’s total volume of Visa transactions (inclusive of credit, debit and prepaid) meeting the transaction thresholds in one country or with one acquirer per year. Volume from independently-owned and operated merchant locations (e.g., franchisee, licensee) may be excluded if it is not processed by the corporate entity.
