Questions / Answers
Q. What is the PCI standard?
A. PCI stands for Payment Card Industry. These are security regulations for handling credit card transaction data, established to prevent fraud.
Q. Do we have to comply with the PCI standard if we have a merchant account with Netbanx (PaySafe)?
A. Yes. Any merchant accepting credit card transactions (donations or payments) must comply with the PCI standard.
Q. We only have the online donation module (IMakeAnOnlineDonation), so we do not handle any credit card numbers (web account). Do we still have to comply with the PCI standard?
A. Yes. You still must comply with the PCI standard, but the form to be completed in this case is very simple: the "SAQ A" form.
Q. Is it normal to be asked to fill out the "SAQ C" form?
A. Yes, if you accept donations by telephone or mail (reply coupons), because you see and handle credit card numbers. The "SAQ C" form is a little more complete than the "SAQ A" form. It is designed to assure PaySafe that your methods are secure when you handle credit card data and enter it into the virtual terminal.
Q. Is it normal to be asked to fill out the "SAQ D" form?
A. Only if you store credit card numbers electronically (e.g. by email or in an Excel spreadsheet). This method should be avoided, as it exposes you to great risks of fraud and involves major security constraints. The "SAQ D" form is the most complex to fill.
Q. We have a PaySafe account and the online donation module (IMakeAnOnlineDonation); are credit card numbers stored on your site?
A. No. Payment data is stored in a secure vault at Netbanx and cannot be retrieved by you or IMakeAnOnlineDonation..
Q. We have a PaySafe account and the electronic transaction module (virtual terminal); are credit card numbers stored in ProDon?
A. No. Payment data is stored in a secure vault at Netbanx and cannot be retrieved by you or ProDon.
Q. Can Logilys help me fill out the PCI "SAQ A" or "SAQ C" form?
A. Only for the section "LIST ALL THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS (Leave blank if not applicable)". Here is what you need to enter:
- Payment Gateway: "Netbanx-PaySafe"

Q. Do we need an IT technician to fill in the forms?
A. Some questions are highly technical and require an excellent understanding of your IT and networking environment. It is very likely that you will need the help of your technician.
Q. We have failed PCI certification, what should we do?
A. Failed safety rules are clearly identified in the compliance report. You must check each of these points with your technician to rectify the situation.
