Compliance with any mandate takes time and planning. But, thousands of customers and readers use PCI Compliance Guide to make the PCI compliance process faster and simpler, as well as better maintain compliance.
Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance is required for any organization that takes payment cards. The PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) includes 12 data security requirements that merchants must follow. Service providers must also comply with the PCI DSS, as well as follow some additional requirements on top of those that apply to merchants.
Merchants often have a difficult time attaining and maintaining PCI compliance for a variety of reasons. A lack of resources, time, and PCI DSS familiarity can hinder compliance efforts and leave businesses vulnerable to cyber attacks and data leaks. SecurityMetrics forensic research concluded that the average breached organization at the time of data compromise was not compliant with at least 44% of the PCI DSS requirements.
What's more, none of the breached organizations SecurityMetrics investigated in 2018 were found to be fully PCI DSS compliant at the time they experienced a data breach.
The 2019 Guide to PCI Compliance specifically helps merchants and service providers address the most problematic issues within the 12 PCI DSS requirements. Functionally interactive features enhance the downloadable PDF Guide experience for all familiarity levels.
“The guide provided by SecurityMetrics on PCI DSS is a very good review of requirements and how they relate to the needs of those working on PCI DSS adherence . . . as someone working in this arena on a routine basis with national and global financial institutions, the quick reminder of areas to review is fantastic," said Tim Hoyle, Senior IT Project Manager at Apex Systems.
Brenda Clark, Compliance and Security Manager at NTT America, Inc., said, “The SecurityMetrics Guide to PCI DSS Compliance is a one-stop guide to PCI DSS compliance. This is the best comprehensive guide I’ve found.”
