Target dates for compliance with the PCI DSS itself have all long since
passed. Many organisations . particularly those that fall below the top
tier of payment card transaction volumes . are not yet compliant - and
can no longer afford to put off the work required to fall into line
with this global standard.

This handy pocket guide will provide you with all the information you
will need when considering how to approach the PCI DSS, and is an ideal
tool for awareness training for your PCI staff.

Attacks are highly automated, seeking out website and payment card
system vulnerabilities

All businesses that accept payment cards are prey for hackers and
criminal gangs that seek to steal payment card and individual identity
details. Many attacks are highly automated, seeking out website and
payment card system vulnerabilities remotely, using increasingly
sophisticated tools and techniques. When a vulnerability is discovered,
an attack can start . without management or staff of the target company
having any awareness of what is going on.

PCI DSS is designed to ensure that merchants are effectively protecting
cardholder data. It recognises that not all merchants may have the
technical understanding to identify for themselves the necessary steps
and short-circuits to avoid danger. All merchants, and their service
providers, should therefore ensure that they comply with PCI DSS, and
that they stay compliant.
