How Innovative Day-to-Day Technology Operations Will Improve Your PCI Ranking

Overview The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard prescribes a 12-step program with explicit requirements to protect cardholder information. It also includes security audit procedures that must be validated by a PCI authorized third-party assessor. The PCI-DSS requirements apply to PCI acquirers, merchants, and service providers' inability to prove compliance can lead to significant fines per incident and/or losing the ability to transact credit cards (i.e.: CardSystems Solutions Inc.). This webcast covers how creating innovative day-to-day technology operations will help to improve the security of the entire organization in addition to protecting cardholder information, minimizing consumer identity-theft and protecting the organizations' reputation.
