Meeting the 12 Rules of the PCI Data Security Standards: Employing CoreGuard to Meet Encryption and Access Control Requirements for Payment Card Industry (PCI) Standards

Overview Compliance with PCI (Payment Card Industry) data security requirements is a key initiative for any company that processes credit cards. PCI, an industry-wide adoption of Visa's CISP (Cardholder Information Security Program), is the credit card industry's standard for securing cardholder data. Visa's CISP and MasterCard's Site Data Protection standards merged into the PCI standard in December 2004. In Europe, compliance is mandatory, by June 2006, for any business that stores, processes, or transmits this data. The PCI guidelines provide a list of requirements to ensure that a company is providing the requisite level of security.
