Guide Foreword:
No matter the advances in cyber security technology and despite government initiatives and regulations, attackers will continue to steal unprotected payment card data.
Some organizations have simple, easy-to-correct 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.
Our guide was specifically created to help merchants and service providers address the most problematic issues within the 12 PCI DSS requirements, including auditors’ best practices and IT checklists. Rather than reading this guide cover to cover, we recommend using it as a resource for your PCI compliance efforts.
Ultimately, our goal is to help you better protect your data from inevitable future attacks.
