Guide Foreword:
No matter the advances in cyber security technology and increased government cyber security initiatives and regulations, attackers continue stealing unprotected payment card data.
Some organizations have simple, easy-to-correct issues that create vulnerabilities that lead to data breaches. In other instances, organizations with intricate IT defenses and processes are overridden by an employee opening a phishing email.
We specifically designed this document as a reference guide to help merchants and service providers address the most problematic issues within the 12 PCI DSS requirements, including auditor’s best practices and IT checklists. Rather than reading this guide cover to cover, we recommend using this as a resource for your PCI compliance efforts.
I hope the 2017 SecurityMetrics Guide to PCI DSS Compliance will help you better understand today’s PCI requirements and recommended best practices to protect data from inevitable future attacks.
