Stafford Associates Seeks PCI DSS Certification

Major credit card companies have made it mandatory for merchants and credit card processors to meet the strict network security rules that went into effect in 2005.  Compliance with these rules has not been wide spread and, because of the recent breaches in security, credit card companies are cracking down and imposing large fines and preventing some large volume companies from processing credit cards at all until these new security rules have been met.  Stafford Associates is in the process of becoming PCI Certified (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).  We hope to become the first PCI Certified company in the Metropolitan area.  PCI Certification will enable us to host data from companies that are not currently certified.
