2. Agenda
• The Harsh Reality:
Fraudsters
• First Step: PCI Compliance
• Tools for Fraud Prevention
• Resources
4. The Harsh Reality: Fraudsters
• Fraudsters are smart and dedicated
• Data breach vs. payment fraud
• Attack vulnerable websites
• Nonprofits have weaker security
• Nonprofits can lose both money and
reputation as a result of fraud
5. What do they do?
• Testing stolen card numbers
– $1.00 donations
• Card number tumbling
• Name tumbling
• Refund scam
• Creation of clone charities
6. Ways to STOP them
• Velocity checking
• Address verification (AVS)
• CVV2 capability
• IP blocking (high risk countries)
• Minimum transaction limit
• Payment Form
– iFrame (least risk)
– Direct Post (medium risk)
9. What is PCI?
• Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard (PCI-DSS)
• All merchants (regardless of size)
must meet established standards of
security relating to how credit card data
is stored, processed, and transmitted
10. How PCI Helps
• Creates an actionable framework to
protect both nonprofits and donors
• Enables prevention, detection, and
mitigation of incidents
• Maintaining PCI certification helps build
donors’ trust
11. Becoming Compliant
• Identify level of compliance you need
• Complete either:
– Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ)
– Report on Compliance (ROC)
• Different types depending on systems
and processes
• Hire a security assessor
12. Compliance Levels
Level Description
1
Any merchant — regardless of acceptance channel — processing
over 6M Visa transactions per year. Any merchant that Visa, at
its sole discretion, determines should meet the Level 1 merchant
requirements to minimize risk to the Visa network
2 Any merchant — regardless of acceptance channel — processing
1M to 6M Visa transactions per year
3 Any merchant processing 20K to 1M Visa ecommerce
transactions per year
4
Any merchant processing fewer than 20K Visa ecommerce
transactions per year, and all other merchants — regardless of
acceptance channel — processing up to 1M Visa transactions per
year.
13. SAQ Types
SAQ Description
A Card-not-present (e-commerce or mail/telephone-order) merchants, all
cardholder data functions outsourced. This would never apply to face-to-face
merchants.
A-EP* E-commerce merchants who outsource all payment processing to PCI DSS
third parties and who have a website that doesn’t directly receive
cardholder data but can impact the security of the transaction.
B Imprint-only merchants with no electronic cardholder data storage, or
standalone, dial-out terminal merchants with no electronic cardholder data
storage
B-IP* Merchants using only standalone, PTS-approved payment terminals with an
IP connection to the processor and no electronic data storage.
C-VT Merchants using only web-based virtual terminals, no electronic cardholder
data storage
C* Merchants with payment application systems connected to the Internet, no
electronic cardholder data storage
P2PE-HW Merchants using only hardware payment terminals that are included in/managed
via a PCI SSC-listed P2PE solution. No card holder data storage.
D* All other merchants not included in descriptions for SAQ types A through C
above, and all service providers defined by a payment card brand as eligible to
complete an SAQ
15. What to do…
• Achieve and maintain PCI compliance
• Talk to your merchant provider
– What tools are available?
– How to implement?
• Train your staff so they know what to
look for
– Refund policies, account patterns, etc.
16. Basic Strategy
As much as
possible to
someone else
Work hard to
only need to
follow SAQ-A or
SAQ-EP
Make sure you
understand
questions
17. But don’t totally avoid it
• PCI encourage useful habits
– Some of the policies are a
good idea anyway.
• Don’t sacrifice user experience
– Don’t outsource to a platform your users
will hate. That may cost you more than
compliance.
18. What Professional Vendors Do
• Scanning systems quarterly and annually
• Securing/removing direct access (physical and
software) to servers and networks
• Completely locking down direct access to all platform
APIs
• Fully logging every action taken on every server and
API
• Creating 2 factor authentication to all systems used
• Created strong internal processes and policies
around password strength/maximum allowed age,
SSL certificates, office access, and more…
19. Key Takeaways
• You must own the process
• PCI encourages useful habits
• Create a sustainable culture
• Don’t need to sacrifice user
experience
