Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to help assure that the university is complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) and is striving to avoid a security breach from unauthorized and inappropriate use of cardholders' information. The entire campus is required to comply
The committee has representatives from each PCI zone If credit cards are accepted in person, via the web, by mail or over the phone or in any other way– the transaction is subject to PCI-DSS The policy applies to any activity related to payment cards including storage of cardholder data
There are 279 controls that must be addressed for each PCI zone. We are hoping to limit the campus to 3 zones Food Services The Book Store Every where else using a third party solution
