How can companies collect credit card payments securely? Businesses that accept credit card information over the phone must adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). PCI DSS compliance protects both the cardholders and the companies that store, process, or transmit cardholder data.
For example, a retail business that accepts credit card payments needs to find a secure solution for taking credit card information over the phone. Obtaining PCI compliance can be a long and tedious process. Businesses need to protect cardholder data and avoid the heavy fines incurred from non-compliance to PCI standards.
