Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance
Implementing Best Practices for PCI: Preventing Data Breaches and Safeguarding Critical Data
Companies with responsibility for consumer credit card
information face an ongoing challenge to ensure the integrity and security
of credit card data. And in 2005, information security accountability intensified
for merchants and payment service providers when the Payment Card Industry
(PCI) Data Security Standard was introduced worldwide. Since then, all merchants
and service providers that store, process, or transmit credit card data must
comply with the PCI mandates or can face costly consequences such as:
- Fines of $5,000 to $25,000 a month for each merchant
who does not validate PCI compliance
- An estimated 78 percent of consumers declining to
shop where a breach occurs
- The cost of a fraudulent or erroneous data breach
ranging from $182 to $350 per data record
- Merchants facing the possibility of bankruptcy without
the appropriate data security practices in place to
maintain PCI compliance
