Complying with the New Card Company Security Rules

Introduction: Several recent high-profile compromises of customer credit card data have shaken the retailing and payments world and underscored the necessity of protecting such data. While MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover all have requirements about the storage of customer card data—what can be stored, how it can be stored and who is responsible for data breaches—enforcement has been on a spot basis until now. But the card companies are promising to step up their enforcement, meaning that non-compliant retailers could lose their credit card status, lifeblood of an online retailer.

Workshop Content: This workshop will:

• Lay out in detail the credit card company mandates for securing online payment data.
• Explain what e-retailers must do to meet the mandates and the penalties for not doing so.
• Help retailers identify potential vulnerabilities in their systems and web sites and how to fix them.
• Address the specific questions that retailers should ask payment processors to make sure their processors are in compliance with security rules.

About the Instructors: Scott Sweren, national practice manager, Fortrex Technologies Inc., is a payments data security expert who will walk attendees through what they need to know to comply with the card company standards. Dave Glaser is vice president, professional services with CyberSource, a major provider of payment services. He will tell retailers how to know if their processor is providing the required level of security. TBA.
