Businesses worldwide use credit and debit card information to process transactions on point-of-sale (POS) registers, laptops, tablets and phones.

What happens when companies upgrade equipment and must dispose of old technology? Leaders must follow PCI DSS 3.2 Data Security Standards to destroy media and eliminate traces of card numbers. Phiston Technologies offers a range of equipment for PCI-compliant data destruction.

What the PCI DSS 3.2 Standard Requires of Companies

The PCI DSS 3.2 Data Security Standard protects cardholders and their personal information. The standard requires businesses to assess their procedures for using and destroying media in an attempt to minimize fraudulent activity. Any company that accepts credit cards must follow the PCI DSS 3.2 Standard.

This standard has 12 guidelines for compliance:

  1. Organizations must have a firewall in place.
  2. Custom device passwords should be set.
  3. Businesses must safeguard credit card data by limiting access.
  4. Credit card data must be encrypted.
  5. Antivirus software needs to be installed.
  6. Businesses are to update their systems when patches are available.
  7. Restrict credit card data access to employees who need it for core job functions.
  8. Permit only authorized personnel to edit systems.
  9. Physical security measures must be in place.
  10. Organizations must monitor and track digital resources used to store card data.
  11. Security systems must be tested routinely.
  12. Leaders are to explain the appropriate uses of transaction hardware and software.

The Risks of Noncompliance

Ignoring the PCI DSS 3.2 Standard could result in fees from credit card companies. These fees grow more severe the longer an organization is noncompliant. Businesses could also face higher transaction fees in the future and frequently experience a sudden loss of customer trust.
