PCI Compliance: A Technology Overview

Overview The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard has received widespread praise for its specificity. Where other information security standards, such as HIPAA and GLBA, shy away from spelling out required measures and procedures, the PCI standard is straightforward. Service providers and merchants are given direction on the technologies and policies and procedures needed to achieve compliance. Even though the standard provides clear guidance, a PCI compliance program can differ considerably for Level 1 merchants and those at levels 2, 3, and 4. As such, detailing the steps required to achieve compliance for an affected organization requires a rigorous approach. The right mix of technologies and procedures is highly dependent on the organization's size, function, and operational approach.
