aMember compliant with PCI Data Standards?

terriz · Jul 5, 2005

I just got an ominous looking email from Wells Fargo (my merchant account provider via Authorize.net). It recommends (although it doesn't require, because I am a "level 4 merchant") that I validate that my systems adhere to Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Standards (which Visa and MasterCard have agreed on).

Specifically, it states:

To be compliant with the PCI Data Security Standards, all related card processing software that is used by your business must also be compliant. Software compliance includes that Security Data may only be stored until an authorization is obtained, and then the Security Data must be purged from your records and from any systems that you utilize. Security Data is certain security information, including the full contents of any track of the magnetic stripe from the back of a card and the cardholder validation code (the three or four digit value printed on the signature panel of the card). Typically, dedicated credit card terminals that communicate directly with our networks will not store Security Data after an authorization is obtained. However, if you use card processing software, or have a third party provider transmit card data to us or perform a service on your behalf using card data, you must take steps to ensure that you are not storing Security Data.

aMember Pro stores credit card data (for Authorize.Net AIM plugin) if you have recurring billing enabled. There are no other ways to implement automated recurring billing with Authorize.Net
