Cardholder information is protected by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS). PCI-DSS was first developed by the PCI Security Standards Council in 2006. The Council was founded by five global payment brands – American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide, and VISA Inc – and each have agreed to incorporate the PCI DSS into each of their own data security programs.

Things to Remember
PCI Compliance applies to all University departments that store, process, or transmit credit card data regardless of how the payment is accepted. If a University department accepts credit card as payment in person, over the phone, or online, they are subject to the security standards outlined in the PCI-DSS.
