PCI Compliance: The Importance of Securing Payment Information
Overview Fraud and identity theft are on the rise. The Federal Trade Commission received more than 685,000 complaints of fraud and identity theft in 2005, totaling more than $680 million in stolen assets. The vast majority of these cases stemmed from data breaches associated with credit cards. In response, a federation of companies led by MasterCard Worldwide and Visa International set out to establish consistent data security measures for merchants, banks, and service providers. This effort resulted in the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), a multifaceted security standard that includes requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design, and other critical protective measures.
