    1. Stay Secure

    2. Requirements and Recommendations

      What you can and must do to stay secure.

      Merchants must follow specific data security requirements in order to accept MasterCard cards. MasterCard Worldwide rules and recommendations apply to all transactions—whether they occur in a store, online, or over the phone.

      Make Sure Your Systems Are Secure.

      The systems you use to accept MasterCard payment cards in your store or business must comply with industry mandated security requirements:

      Store and transmit payment card data properly. MasterCard requires issuers, acquirers, retailers, and third party processors to comply with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (PDF)

      Entities handling payment card can work to achieve compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard using the MasterCard Site Data Protection™ Program. This program applies to merchants and service providers that process, transmit or store cardholder data. Through the network scanning requirement, MasterCard Site Data Protection is also designed to protect against the compromise of account data. Remember that your acquirer should be closely monitoring your compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard.
