Learn, Do, Secure
The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council developed a set of standards called Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) to protect payment card information. Merchants and organizations that collect, process, store, or transmit payment card information must comply with the security standards.
The University is committed to protecting the privacy of payment card information (cardholder information) it processes to comply with the PCI DSS requirements by establishing a policy and a procedure to standardize the process for handling payment card information from the time of payment authorization to completion and ensure that the appropriate controls are in place to safeguard this information against any data breach.
To support the employees who handle cardholder information and operate card payment systems in complying with the PCI DSS requirements, the University is providing training on PCI DSS. This training is mandatory.
My responsibility
All employees who handle cardholder information and operate card payment systems play an important role and are responsible for protecting this information and card payment systems. To properly carry out this responsibility, employees are required to:
- Complete the PCI DSS Training. There are three modules located under the Library menu,
- Read and comply with the University’s PCI DSS Policy,
- Report any incident relating to mishandling, misuse, or any other breach of cardholder information or card payment devices immediately to ServiceDesk@neiu.edu.
For questions relating to the PCI DSS training, please contact uinfosec@neiu.edu.
