What we all need to know

Approval Date: April 30, 2012 Approved by: President's Council

Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to help assure that the university is complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) and is striving to avoid a security breach from unauthorized and inappropriate use of cardholders' information. The entire campus is required to comply

The committee has representatives from each PCI zone If credit cards are accepted in person, via the web, by mail or over the phone or in any other way– the transaction is subject to PCI-DSS The policy applies to any activity related to payment cards including storage of cardholder data

There are 279 controls that must be addressed for each PCI zone. We are hoping to limit the campus to 3 zones Food Services The Book Store Every where else using a third party solution

The gate-keeper for approval to accept payment cards is the University Bursar The Bursars Office will ensure that all payment card systems conform with PCI standards If a breach of PCI data is suspected University Risk Management must be contacted at ext Failure to abide by PCI-DSS can result in significant fines or loss of payment card processing privileges for the University
