PCI, PCI, PCI, PCI, .. .... .... ..... ....
Everywhere I turn these days the talk is about PCI. May be I'm hanging out with the wrong folks:), but seriously I feel there is more talk about PCI than actual work. I would like to think of this whole thing as "risk to business" and how you take care of it. Every business faces certain risk and the biggest risk is "compromise of customer data" as it'll lead to losing trust with the customers which directly impacts the bottom line of any organization and may even result in closure. So PCI helps a business in many ways by highlighting the areas that critical in protecting the cardholder information. Requirements range from data storage requirements to physical security of the building where customer data is stored.
So love to hear what are the major concerns, so may be we can discuss here on the blog.
