Developed by the founding payment brands of the PCI Security Council, PCI DSS is a set of complete requirements to boost the security of payment account data, transactions and payment systems, which thwarts the possibility of cardholder data theft.
Barclaycard collaborated with Sysnet to create data security manager, a compliance validation program designed to meet the specific needs of Barclaycard’s merchant customers.
The program suit comprises a Barclaycard-branded online portal that guides merchants through the compliance process, a customized communication program to help business owners throughout the compliance journey. It also includes a dedicated data security helpdesk to assist merchants with any questions for validation process.
Equipped with an intuitive profiling tool, the data security manager assists the merchant to decide their exact PCI DSS compliance validation requirement.
Barclaycard payment security manager Cheryl Morgan said that the collaboration will deliver all the tools and support necessary to help smaller businesses manage their PCI DSS compliance.
UK-based Barclaycard caters credit cards for consumers and corporate clients and enabling retailers to accept card payments.
