Importance of Enabling SSL in Zendesk for PCI Compliance
Why is it important to enable SSL in Zendesk for PCI compliance?
Enabling SSL in Zendesk is crucial for PCI compliance because it ensures that any communications over public networks that may include cardholder data are encrypted. This is a requirement of the PCI Data Security Standard.
To enable SSL, sign in as an administrator, navigate to the Admin Center, and select 'Security > More settings'. Ensure your SSL certificate is valid or that the 'Enabled' checkbox in the Regular SSL section is selected. Zendesk uses TLS, which is more secure than SSL, to meet these requirements.
