PCI
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a global mandate for any organization that accepts, processes, stores, or transmits credit card data. For businesses across Michigan from Detroit retailers to e-commerce platforms non-compliance is a silent liability. It doesn’t just invite bank fines; it exposes your business to data breaches and the catastrophic risk of losing your merchant processing privileges entirely.
