			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With lawmakers passing new laws to reform credit card companies, the industry is  at high alert, particularly where security for <a href="http://www.thetransactiongroup.net/">internet merchant accounts</a> is  concerned. Credit card companies are putting forth efforts to self-regulate,  obviating the need for lawmakers to impose regulations which may not be in the  industry&#8217;s best interest. To this end, the major credit card providers have  formed the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council&#8217;s Data Security  Standard (PCI DSS) to provide an effective and uniform standard for data  security that every business with an internet merchant account must comply with.  PCI DSS has been accepted as the de facto standard by government regulators,  with slight modifications that may vary from state to state. If your business  has an internet merchant account, you must have a written PCI DSS plan that is  clear and easy for you and all your employees to follow.</p>
<p>PCI DSS  recommends several practices to enhance the security of your company&#8217;s computer  systems and customer&#8217;s data to protect this sensitive data from theft by  fraudsters such as identity thieves. For the most part, breaches in data  security can be traced to employee negligence&#8211;you should ensure that only  authorized personnel have access to this data, and that they are properly  trained. Avoid the use of wireless networks for sending sensitive data; wireless  networks are more susceptible to interception and manipulation by data thieves.  Instead of having all your data on a single server, set up a separate server to  keep your most sensitive data on, and be sure to control both electronic as well  as physical access to this server. By applying these guidelines, you can enhance  the security of your business and protect your customers from unauthorized  access to their sensitive data.</p>
