As the CIO of Certain Software, one of the most frequent requests for information I receive from customers is regarding PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance. In fact, at the last Meetings Technology Expo in San Francisco, I spoke on the subject of PCI and data security. More than ever, independent meeting planners need to be aware of the potential penalties which can be associated with not being PCI compliant. My team has gone through extensive audits and received the highest level of PCI certification as PCI Level 1 for Service Providers.

Certain Software’s achievement of PCI Level 1 for Service Providers is listed on both the Mastercard Site Data Protection and VISA Cardholder Information Security Program sites.
Mastercard Compliant Service Providers

If you take credit cards for registration payments, you will want to ensure your provider is listed on these sites.
