Breached payment card processor
Heartland Payment Systems has been again certified compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the company announced Friday. In March, two months after the breach was
disclosed, Visa
removed Heartland from its
list of compliant service providers
. Some experts questioned whether the removal meant merchants risked being fined for doing business with Heartland, but Visa issued a statement saying this
was not true. Heartland said it is expects to rejoin the Visa-approved list on Monday. — DK
