Payment security

All merchants who accept payments by card are required to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard , or PCI DSS.  Barclaycard provide a service called the Data Security Manager which allows merchants to self-assess and attest to compliance with the PCI DSS every 12 months.  The fee for using Barclaycard’s Data Security Manager is £4.80 per month.  The Data Security Manager is an alternative service to the Proactive Security Service (see below).  If a merchant uses the service of another PCI DSS assessor and is able to upload a current certificate of compliance, then the £4.80 Data Security Fee does not apply.
