Nonprofit Compliance
PCI DSS Compliance for Nonprofits
If your nonprofit processes credit card donations — online, at events, or by phone — you must comply with PCI DSS. BrightWorks IT helps nonprofits achieve and maintain compliance without disrupting your fundraising.
PCI DSS Challenges for Nonprofits
Payment card security requirements apply even to small nonprofits.
Didn't Know We Needed It
Many nonprofits don't realize that accepting credit card donations triggers PCI DSS requirements. Non-compliance means potential fines and loss of card processing ability.
Complex Requirements
PCI DSS has 12 requirements with 300+ sub-controls. Understanding which apply to your nonprofit based on how you process cards requires expertise.
Protecting Donor Payment Data
A credit card breach at your nonprofit destroys donor trust. Donors who have their card data stolen through your organization may never donate again.
Annual Compliance Validation
PCI DSS compliance must be validated annually through Self-Assessment Questionnaires or assessments — an ongoing obligation.
