PCI DSS - the needle in the haystack conundrum
Whether your organisation processes one card payment transaction a year or one million, your business must comply with PCI DSS, a whole raft of regulations designed to keep payment card information secure and to prevent fraud. However, achieving compliance isn’t simple: in short, you’ll need to start searching for that proverbial needle in the haystack of PCI DSS regulations.
What compliance means for your business
Achieving compliance yourself is a time consuming and costly uphill struggle, but even if you manage to achieve it, maybe with some outside help, it’s most likely that numerous internal systems will have to be re-engineered, processes re-written and everything subjected to regular quarterly audits. To make matters worse, the regulations don’t stand still and, as the PCI Security Standards Council are quick to point out, ‘security controls deployed by organisations in the process of compliance, were often out of compliance when breaches occurred shortly afterwards.’
But it’s only by achieving and maintaining compliance that your cyber defences will be primed ready to repel attacks aimed at stealing cardholder data. But how do you accomplish this in a timely and cost-effective way? How do you keep costs low and avoid consequential losses thorough business disruption whilst PCI compliance is achieved and then maintained?
These questions have to be answered because PCI compliance is critical to your business’s future.
