Introduction

Give Corporation is committed to ensuring the security of cardholder data and maintaining compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This Merchant PCI Compliance Program outlines our dedication to safeguarding sensitive payment card information and the responsibilities of all employees and stakeholders in achieving and maintaining PCI compliance.

Objective

The primary objective of our Merchant PCI Compliance Program is to:

  • Protect cardholder data from unauthorized access, disclosure, and misuse.
  • Comply with the requirements of the PCI DSS to maintain a secure payment processing environment.
  • Minimize the risk of data breaches and fraud.
  • Preserve the trust and confidence of our customers and partners.

Scope

This program applies to all employees, contractors, vendors, and partners who handle payment card data or have access to systems, networks, and processes that could impact the security of such data. It encompasses all systems, processes, and technologies involved in payment card transactions within Give Corporation.

Responsibilities

Management

Senior management is responsible for providing the necessary resources, leadership, and oversight to ensure PCI compliance.

Management will establish a PCI compliance team or designate a responsible party to oversee compliance efforts.

PCI Compliance Team:

The PCI compliance team is responsible for:

  • Conducting regular risk assessments and vulnerability scans.
  • Developing and maintaining policies, procedures, and security measures to comply with PCI DSS.
  • Monitoring and enforcing compliance across the organization.
  • Conducting PCI training and awareness programs for employees.
  • Reporting on compliance status to senior management and relevant stakeholders.

Employees

All employees are responsible for adhering to PCI policies and procedures.

Employees must complete PCI training and promptly report any security incidents or suspected breaches to the PCI compliance team.

Merchant Agreement

In adherence to the card brand requirements, on the Merchant Agreement the merchant will check a box acknowledging they are PCI Compliant. If the merchant is uncertain if they are PCI Compliant then the merchant will be directed to complete the Self-Assessment Questionnaire A and Attestation of Compliance at https://listings.pcisecuritystandards.org/documents/SAQ_A_v3.pdf. Our merchants use an endpoint, the only access to our secured environment is through a token. Cardholder information is not available to our merchants.

The merchant is required to protect transactions and sensitive information. Give offers Merchant Training to merchants on how to protect transactions and sensitive information.
