Division of IT: Security

E-Commerce Security Inspections

E-commerce security inspections are required and are conducted by trained Division of Information Technology staff. For more information on the security inspection process, see the security inspection program overview.

E-commerce inspections follow the same general guidelines as regular security inspections; however, additional standards apply to sites that accept Visa and/or MasterCard transactions.

E-Commerce Best Practices

All e-commerce sites must comply with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. The Division of IT will inspect each MU e-commerce site prior to distribution of a Merchant ID number from the UM System Treasurer's Office.
