                  Action required

                                Dear Michael Bishop,

                                Thanks for choosing PayPal for your payment processing. We’re sending you this notification because you’ve processed at least 20,000 credit card transactions in the past year – and that’s a good thing. Now, we need to help you make sure your systems meet Payment Card Industry security requirements – to help prevent security breaches, avoid possible fines, and keep your PayPal account in good standing. 

                                PCI Compliance in a Nutshell 

                                The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, more commonly known as PCI DSS, are a strict set of security requirements designed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council to protect cardholder information. The standards apply to any organization that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data. The standards also apply to all payment channels, including retail (brick-and-mortar), mail/telephone order, and e-commerce. 

                                As a business that accepts credit card payments, PCI DSS applies to you. 

                                What You Need to Do 

                                Because of your annual credit card transaction volume, we need to make sure your systems meet PCI requirements. If you’re using one of the following products, then customers’ payment information passes through your backend systems when you process their credit card transactions. That means you’ll need to complete the steps outlined below. 

                                If you have one of the following PayPal payment products…
                                 Take these steps:
                                 
                                PayPal Payments Pro and Virtual Terminal
                                 1.                Complete a Security Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) about your credit card processing systems and methods.

                                2.                Work with a Qualified Security Assessor (like Panoptic Security, PayPal’s PCI partner) to get a quarterly network scan of your office and store Internet connections, including your website.

                                3.                Obtain a certificate of compliance from your Qualified Security Assessor.

                                4.                Fax your certificate, scan report summary and SAQ documentation to PayPal at (303) 395-2812. 
                                 
                                Payflow Pro and Virtual Terminal

                                If, however, you’re using one of the following hosted products, your customers’ payment information passes through PayPal’s systems, not yours. That means you have less work to do, as outlined below. 

                                If you have the following hosted PayPal payment product…
                                 Take these steps:
                                 
                                PayPal Payments Pro with Virtual Terminal (hosted by PayPal)
                                 1.                Complete a short Security Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) about your credit card processing systems and methods.

                                2.                Fax the signed SAQ to PayPal at (303) 395-2812.
                                 
                                Payflow Pro with Virtual Terminal (hosted by PayPal)
                                 
                                Payflow Link (hosted by PayPal)

                                If, for some reason, you can’t complete these steps within the next 30 days, you can keep your PayPal account in good standing by sending an email with a plan of action to [email-masked].
