Today, we celebrate freedom. It didn't come easy; many brave men fought to earn and keep our independence. These men passed the torch to us to carry it forward and pass it again to future generations.

Freedom is about more than one individual and has everything to do with how we live together to form a better society.

Nothing says it better than the Declaration of Independence:

" We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness..."

Whether they know it or not, all small businesses are required to comply with the payments industry security standards known as PCI compliance.

There are 12 main requirements that, when not correctly followed, expose your business to data breaches and potential financial risk that may even end up putting a business out of business - It is important!

Today, we'll discuss 5.

1) Your payment equipment and service providers must use PCI-approved software and equipment. All MerchantZoom terminals are designed in compliance with the highest PCI standards.

2) Never store the last three digits in the back of Visa, MasterCard, and Discovery Cards, nor the last four digits in front of American Express cards.

3) Never store the data contained in the magnetic stripe of the credit cards.

4) If your system requires charging cards over time, ensure all data is encrypted (see point 1).

5) Keep any paper records containing credit card information secured and locked when not directly in use.

The last one seems obvious, but ... we have seen instances of credit card data lying around more than once or twice.

Small business owners rarely think about cybersecurity or doing much to protect customers' credit card information. After all, you are too busy either doing the work yourself or managing the most essential aspects of your business. The things you consider it has to be done to keep the doors open and make money.

However, you should know enough to choose the right partners to help you take some of the tasks you can't do. Here is an article from the Federal Communications Commission about Cybersecurity for Small Businesses.

Point number 8 in the article talks about implementing payment cards best practices. This is where MerchantZoom comes in! Let us help you ensure your business is protected and in compliance with the PCI DSS Standards.

Here is a video that shows you an example that this is pertinent to small businesses: https://youtu.be/1nCLjsqY1uw

All businesses, no matter how large or small, are responsible for ensuring their customer's credit card information is protected.

There are 12 main requirements or standards known as or referred to as PCI DSS. Seems complicated, but it doesn't have to be. Today's posting focuses on requirement number 12 - Maintain a policy that addresses information security for all personnel. It boils down to having a procedure, something issue by your company that tells your employees how to spot issues and what to do in cases of a potential breach.

Most merchant service providers will give you access to a template that you can customize for your business. However, a template without customer awareness training does not do much to protect your business against data breaches. This kind of mistake can put you out of business, so it deserves your attention. When you partner with MerchantZoom, we help you understand the implications of being compliant, but we also are there to assist you in implementing the protocols to protect you and your customers.

Owning a business can become a trap when you become a one-man orchestra. If you find yourself doing too many jobs, you will always neglect something vital for your business expansion.

In the beginning, it may feel exciting doing everything; after all, you are creating something from the ground up. Eventually, the excitement wears off. To get results, you need to focus on the strategic aspects of your business, something you can't do if you are trapped in the daily mundane activities.

In addition to hiring the right people at the right time, the solution is to partner with companies that take off your plate things that you don't need to do personally. MerchantZoom can help you figure out the best ways for your business to collect payments with the most reliable and innovative merchant services solutions in the community.
