Myth. I’m a small merchant who only takes a handful of cards, so I don’t need PCI.
Fact. This is a common misunderstanding with the standard, that small merchants handling only one or a few credit cards a year are exempt from compliance. If you are a merchant and are set up to take credit cards by any mechanism - then you need to be complaint.
Myth. PCI only applies to e-commerce companies.
Fact. No, PCI applies to every company that stores, processes or transmits cardholder information. In fact anyone who takes card present transactions that involve POS devices are typically more at risk than e-commerce solutions. Quite often these types of transactions involve storage of track data (which is forbidden under PCI). Compromise of this type of data may bring heavy fines and requests for compensation from the banks involved.
Myth. You only have to be PCI compliant with the majority of criteria.
Fact. The pass mark for PCI is 100%, so if you fail even one of the criteria, you are not PCI compliant. The standard is not meant to be something to strive for; it is essentially a floor, a basis for further security measures. Failing to achieve even one of the requirements, is failing to meet a basic standard for handling cardholder information. All companies that routinely handle this type of data should be aiming to exceed the standard. It’s just good business.
Myth. I only need to protect my credit card data, not ATM debit card related data.
Fact. Incorrect - both are required. Many debit cards are dual-purpose ‘signature debit’, which can be used on debit and credit card networks. As such, they are covered under PCI and must be protected in the same way as credit cards.
Myth. I can wait until my business grows.
Fact. Incorrect - the PCI standard applies to all sizes of business and waiting could be costly. Should you be compromised and not be PCI compliant, the fines and the compensation requirements by the banks (it typically costs between $50 and $90 to replace one card) could be substantial.
