How PCI DSS works
PCI DSS, or Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, is a set of regulations established by major payment providers such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and JCB. These rules exist to ensure payment card information is handled securely by businesses that accept, process, store, or transmit it.
If your business accepts card payments online or in person, you must follow PCI DSS requirements whenever client card details are involved. You remain responsible for managing any risk caused by unauthorized access, poor internal handling, or insecure storage methods.
Staying PCI DSS compliant
There are 12 core requirements under PCI DSS. While the exact obligations depend on how you take payments, these measures will help you protect client card details and personal data.
- Use BeYou365 Payments or another PCI-compliant payment processor whenever possible so card data is encrypted and handled inside approved systems.
- Remove any payment card details that have been stored manually in notes, spreadsheets, or any location not intended for secure card storage.
- Keep your team informed about safe payment handling practices so everyone understands what should never be written down, shared, or screenshotted.
- If you are not using BeYou365 Payments yet, speak with your payment provider about the controls you need in place to remain compliant.
