Protecting credit card data

04 Feb 2013

All businesses accepting card payments need to meet the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

The objective of the standards is to reduce the risk of our customers' card data getting into the wrong hands.

Starting in January 2013, the University is embarking on a Finance-led PCI DSS compliance initiative, working closely with IT Services.

This is the first newsletter of a series of updates anticipated during 2013:

• Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Compliance Guide
