Our commitment to PCI DSS Compliancy
At the University of Louisville, we recognize the critical importance of safeguarding cardholder data. In alignment with the latest mandates from the PCI Security Standards Council and Card Brand requirements, we are dedicated to maintaining full compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).
To ensure secure acceptance, processing, and transmission of credit card information, UofL has implemented stringent measures across all merchant operations. Compliance can only be achieved through active participation and adherence to PCI DSS policies and procedures by all university and health science center merchants.
Key components of our PCI DSS compliance program include:
- Formalized training and documentation for all merchants
- Completion of self-assessment questionnaires (SAQs) to confirm compliance at the merchant level
- Attestation of compliance for all applicable merchant departments
Our IT infrastructure is continuously evaluated through vulnerability scans and penetration testing to identify and remediate any security gaps in our network, particularly those related to card processing. Relevant findings are communicated directly to affected departments to ensure corrective action is taken.
This collaborative effort, led by Merchant Services in partnership with Information Security, CampusGuard, and our payment processor (PNC) reflects our ongoing commitment to protecting cardholder data. With your support, we are confident in our ability to maintain compliance and foster a secure payment environment across campus.
