PCI Compliance

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is the global security standard for all entities that store, process, or transmit cardholder data and/or sensitive authentication data. PCI DSS sets a baseline level of protection for consumers and helps reduce fraud and data breaches across the entire payment ecosystem. It is applicable to any organization that accepts or processes payment cards.

We know that some unethical security firms approach vacation rental companies, instill fear, and charge them for making their websites PCI Compliant.

OwnerRez is not only fully Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant, but our systems have undergone a specific design to align with PCI best practices. We encrypt and store credit card information in the same way as payment processors, using the same secure protocols. We are also PCI certified and can supply that documentation to you at any time - just ask for it via the Helpdesk

Rest assured that by utilizing OwnerRez to gather guest credit card information via your OwnerRez hosted website or widgets, you are fully covered and PCI compliant.

But what about OwnerRez partners? In order to integrate with OwnerRez as a channel partner, we require that our partners are also PCI Compliant if they include guest credit card details through our OLB (online-booking) endpoint.

Just know that OwnerRez has got you covered when it comes to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and Data Backups. See OwnerRez's Privacy Policy for more security details.
