How to protect guest’s credit card information.
Secure your guest data so you are not a victim of data breaches and unwanted damages.
Ensuring PCI compliance is essential to protect against data breaches, which can lead to identity theft and loss of guest trust. Hotels must protect guest information, including credit card details and payments by using strong encryption, secure storage, and multi-factor authentication.
When a guest books online:
- Guest Books Room: A guest enters their credit card information on the hotel’s website.
- Encryption: The website encrypts the credit card data so that it’s scrambled and unreadable to anyone who might intercept it.
- Secure Storage: The encrypted data is stored in a secure service.
- Data Expiration: If the credit card data isn’t used within X days, it is automatically deleted from the server.
- Regular Audits: The hotel conducts regular security audits to ensure all processes remain secure and compliant with PCI standards.
In Akia, credit cards are stored temporarily and securely until accessed. If the data isn’t accessed, it will automatically expire after 7 days, ensuring it is no longer stored and minimizing the risk of unauthorized access.
