As I understand the PCI standards this only applies to the credit card processor... meaning it doesn't apply to your organization if you don't actually touch the credit cards... or process the payments.

In our case all credit card processing happens thru our 3rd parties Service U and ACS.  Our organization never takes the credit card number nor is any of the credit card information taken by our servers but rather a portal thru a third party ... this is all handled by the CC processor resulting in our organization not being governed by the PCI compliancy rules.

Ian is that not how you understand the guidelines?

Is this something new?  We've used credit cards on line for awhile.

Do you have to pay for it and is there one place better than another for it?

It's only mandatory if you want to process credit cards. The penalties for non-compliance can be stiff, starting from getting your merchant account shut down, ranging up to stiff penalties. Check your merchant agreement for details.

Has anyone heard of having to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).   Is this mandatory?  www.pcisecuritystandards.org<http://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/>
