PCI Data Security Standards

By adhering to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), NYU strictly prohibits merchants from storing, processing, or transmitting Credit Card data. PCI DSS Compliance is certified annually. Merchant managers must complete a PCI Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) and all staff involved in card processing must complete the Security Awareness Education (SAE). Both PCI components must be competed annually.
