Benton PUD Security Standard
Benton PUD has met all the data security standards required by the Payment Card Industry (Visa, MasterCard) to securely process and transmit customer credit card information. This was a significant effort marked by policy development, training, system configuration, documentation, and submitting our credit card computer network to externally conduct quarterly scans. Additionally, all staff that handles or processes credit card data were trained in the proper use and care of this sensitive data.
To maintain compliance, we will submit an annual assessment regarding the security of credit card data as well as continue to have successful external quarterly scans of the credit card network.
