Reap the Benefits of PCI Compliance: Why Payment Card Security Should Be a Retailer's Top Priority

Tags:
security standards

Overview Despite five years and two deadlines, just 20 percent of level one merchants (6 million+ annual transactions) and an estimated 2 percent of lower-volume merchants have fully complied with cardholder data security standards issued by the card associations, unified in 2004 as Payment Card Industry(PCI) Data Security Standards. Confusion abounds about the intent of some of the standards, acceptable alternatives, how to stay compliant and even to whom the regulations apply.
