PCI compliance “requirements” are a ridiculous and expensive burden on small business owners. It’s another example of banks ripping off the public and over-regulation. I suspect many small business owners fudge the responses to make compliance easier or just pay the extra fees for non-compliance. In the long run, the PCI process is doomed to failure and will be abandoned as unworkable. UGH

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I agree, any third party vendor that handles card data must also be PCI compliant.

Good article, but I seemed to read “recommended” rather than “required.” To be PCI Compliant, a merchant using a third party vendor with access to card information (such as an internet gateway) MUST be PCI Compliant. If the merchant has validated PCI Compliance for itself, but is then using a Noncompliant third party (with access to card info), then the merchant is defacto Noncompliant.

Did not notice that mentioned in the article.

Thanks.
