Case Study: Hypercom SmartPayments Wynid Strengthens Customer Loyalty Through PCI DSS Compliance

No responsible organization wants to risk its reputation by compromising confidential customer payment card data. To help keep this data safe from theft, misuse, or loss, the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council established the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), a framework for payment card data security.

Penalties for non-compliance with PCI DSS can be steep, but demonstrating compliance can require considerable investment in security assessments. That’s why many organizations outsource their complete payment systems—from card swipe or insertion at the point of sale through transaction settlement and reporting—to third parties such as Hypercom SmartPayments Wynid.
