What is PCI

Q: What is PCI?

When most people hear PCI they think of the PCI-DSS Payment Card Industry-Data Security Standards.

Below is a video produced by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Council.  Entertaining and informative.

Top security practices (web browsing)

When our customer service team trains our client's staff they notice vulnerabilities in the organization's IT environment.  Many of these organizations are smaller and don't think they are at risk, however, they are more at risk by failing to implement simple and often free practices into their daily work routine.  

Below is a listing of general recommendations our customer service team has provided:

• Set your anti-virus and anti-spyware software to auto-update. 
• Use an Internet firewall (hardware or software). 
• Don't click pop-ups and never download files from websites you don't trust. 
• When making online transactions, be sure web addresses begin with https (not http) and look for a key or padlock icon in your browser window. 
• Upgrade your Internet browser. Newer browser versions support advanced security features, such as phishing site detection and extended security certificates. 
• Don't surf to other sites while you're visiting a secure site; finish your work within the secure site, sign out and close your browser before you move on.

Connected Pay's team of CPA's can help prevent security issues you may encounter.  For more information on PCI Security Standards, or best practices for web browsing, click Operations Consulting.
