Security Standards White Papers
Achieving and Maintaining Compliance With the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards
Overview During the past several years, credit card associations have begun to make a concerted effort to raise the level of security within the industry. In 2000, Visa USA and MasterCard International independently released data security programs. Unfortunately, adoption was slow and compliance lagged. This was due primarily to uncertain penalties and disparate standards from the competing associations. To respond to these issues, the credit card associations adopted a consolidated data security standard, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI) in 2005. While the PCI represented a significant step forward in the mission to increase security within the payments industry, there are still numerous requirements that organizations are having difficulty complying with.
