The PCI DSS is a set of comprehensive requirements for enhancing payment account data security. It was developed by the founding payment brands of the PCI Security Standards Council (American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa International), to help facilitate the adoption of consistent data security measures globally. The PCI DSS includes requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical protective measures intended to proactively protect customer account data.

As a vendor that accepts credit cards, we are required to be compliant with DSS. Daisy Twist has taken several steps to ensure the safety of any credit card information provided to us and has implemented the following new procedures to safeguard your data:

1. The implementation of our online payments system at www.daisytwist.com/payments. This system uses a secure socket (SSL) implementation to ensure the safety of the data communicated in the session. This is the safest method of payment to us because we never see or store your full credit card number.
2. Our website and servers have been scanned for vulnerabilities by Trustwave to ensure compliance and to identify any potential security threats from hackers.
3. Our field staff is required to run your credit card payments on your site to ensure that they are not taking your credit card data with them. Our field procedure is to write down the confirmation code from the transaction and the last four digits of your credit card only.
4. Our office staff is instructed to shred any credit card numbers taken over the phone immediately after the transaction is complete.
5. We are no longer storing your credit card information in our systems to be run for balance payment. Although this may seem to be an inconvenience for some of our long term clients who were used to that practice, we are confident that the safety benefits will outweigh this inconvenience.

We are proud to offer this additional level of safety to our clients. If you have any questions regarding Daisy Twist’s level of PCI DSS compliance, please click the Trustwave logo above or contact us at our office.

Find a passion, help a person in need, it doesn’t [...]]]> Kennedy was first of the request and now our current president. Politics aside, I do believe that volunteerism is a crucial part of life. To experience the rush of helping without expectations in return is a powerful motivator that cannot be explained it must be experienced.

Find a passion, help a person in need, it doesn’t matter what you choose – just choose to volunteer for an organization that enlightens your soul and makes you a better person.

To support our community and to enlighten our staff, we have decided to close our office for one day (Friday, February 12th) to allow our staff to spend the day volunteering for their organization of choice. We are proud of our ability to support our local communities through our Corporate Giving Program and this company sponsored volunteer day. We hope our clients will understand the one day inconvenience and continue to support us as well!

I personally will be working a mobile adoption event for the Colorado Animal Welfare League at the PetSmart in Aurora. Come out and meet us and our furry friends!

Viva volunteerism!
