Important Payment Security Information

You need to be compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.


Dear Sir/Madam


Compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a mandatory and auditable requirement of the Card Schemes, and applies to all commercial operations and their third parties who store, process or transmit card holder data. It also forms part of the terms and conditions of your merchant agreement with us.


Our records show that you are yet to advise us of the steps your business is undertaking to become PCI DSS compliant.


Barclaycard understands the requirements of PCI DSS can be demanding and have therefore partnered with SecurityMetrics, a US based specialist security organisation. They can provide a free needs-based assessment of your compliance requirements, and if you choose to enrol with them they offer an expert 24hr technical support service to help you achieve and maintain compliance (note that a specially discounted annual fee is available from only 11.99 if no scans are required).


Please note that you are required to urgently inform SecurityMetrics of the steps your business is undertaking to become compliant whether you choose to enrol for their chargeable services or not.


To contact SecurityMetrics please call 0844 561 1662* (lines open 9am to Midnight, Monday to Friday) or you can visit their website at www.securitymetrics.com.
