What is PCI Compliance?
Payment card industry (PCI) compliance is a set of rules and regulations that protect credit card data from hackers and scammers. If your nonprofit accepts credit cards you are required to adhere to PCI data security standards. This process can be confusing, but ignoring it puts your organization and donors at risk. That’s why Neon One offers the industry’s only free PCI Compliance Program to all of our customers—to keep you and your supporters safe.

FAQ
The Neon One PCI Compliance Program is a free program we offer in partnership with SecureTrust, a leading PCI compliance and cybersecurity vendor. It is offered to all Neon One customers and provides PCI compliance certification assistance, security scans, and access to training and resources. This program gives our nonprofit customers the tools they need to keep their data secure, mitigate credit card fraud, and protect themselves from security breaches.
While PCI compliance is not part of any law, it is an internationally-used set of regulations that comes with significant penalties and costs for organizations that don’t apply to the requirements. Any organization accepting credit card transactions is required to be PCI compliant.
As a Neon One customer, you are encouraged, but not required to participate in this program.
Yes. Neon One is PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant and re-certifies annually.

When you sign up for Neon One’s PCI Compliance program, your organization immediately receives access to a SecureTrust compliance account and its merchant portal. By creating a SecureTrust account, your organization receives the following:
– Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) assistance
– Quarterly Approved Security Vendor (ASV) scans
– 24/7 phone, chat, and email support
– Training resources
– Policy templates
– $100,000 in data breach protection

While Neon Pay provides encrypted, tokenized credit card processing, it does not protect your organization from all angles. Along with using a secure, encrypted payment processor, making sure your organization is handling sensitive data correctly and has the right technology policies in place, in accordance with industry standards, is the best defense against data breaches.
Neon One partners with SecureTrust, a leading cybersecurity and compliance firm, to bring this program to our customers. When you enroll in the Neon One PCI Compliance program, a SecureTrust account is created for your organization.
