I received an email stating the phone company is discontinuing this "feature" unless I pay a premium.

No further info on what this is. No other info provided. I've reached out of course.

Never heard of this but internet seems to indicate it's all about security and my privacy.

Anyone know anything ?

I would assume this is for a business and the business may store sensitive data or process credit card transactions? I do IT for grocery stores and I deal with PCI compliance all the time. They just want to make sure that your network does not have any known vulnerabilities on it. There are companies that can run a scan to check for these vulnerabilities. Your hardware/software must be PCI DSS certified in order to be compliant or they will charge you a non compliance fee.

Sounds like your questions have been answered. There are several levels of pci compliance. If you’re just using an old credit card machine, your pci compliance check is limited to a questionnaire. If cards are hitting your system but not being stored, it’s an elevated risk but not too terrible. If you’re storing data, you get the rubber glove treatment.
