Picture
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a comprehensive set of requirements for enhancing cardholder data security around the storage and handling of customer credit card information and data. Compliance with PCI DSS is mandatory for any merchant or business that accepts payment cards.

The threat is real:
  • COMPROMISES are evenly split between brick-and-mortar and eCcommerce business types.
  • SMALL TO MID-SIZED MERCHANTS (Level 4) account for over 85 percent of compromise events.
  • 83% OF ATTACKS were not highly difficult.
  • 87% WERE CONSIDERED AVOIDABLE through reasonable controls.
Compromise expense typically ranges between $25,000 and $40,000 for a Level 4 Merchant. Can your business afford this hit? More importantly, if you mishandle your customer’s credit card data will they come back?
