Out of Compliance = Out of Business

Don't get breached or burned, make sure your business is PCI Compliant.

If your business accepts credit cards today as part of everyday business, make sure you still can in July. That’s when the new Credit CARD Act of 2009 and Payment Card Industry (PCI)'s Data Security Standard DSS (PCI-DSS) 6.6 requirement go into effect.

As a credit card merchant, it’s your job to know about PCI compliance. This set of requirements is a worldwide information security standard designed to ensure all companies – big and small – that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. If your customers’ credit card information is breached, your business could be held financially liable.

Don’t assume your credit card software or processing company has this covered on your behalf. Be sure you’re “in the know” by attending.

What you’ll learn:

• PCI compliance– What does it mean for your business? We will provide insights on what compliance requires based on your size of business.
• How to make the changes required for PCI compliance financially manageable for your business

We’ll also address credit card processing and statements in general, including:

• Understanding what you’re paying for with credit card processing and ways to reduce your costs
• How to understand your credit card statement
• How to calculate your TRUE cost and effective rate
• The difference between cost plus versus the tier system
• Hidden secrets of the tier system and understanding the bucket system

Presenters include:
• Troy Streckenbach, owner, Jimmy Seas/StirUps, merchant/owner perspective
• Peter Helander, Heartland Business Systems, security measures
• Amanda Adams, U.S. Bank
