Prioritising PCI compliance

It has been a lot of discussion recently about PCI DSS compliance. How do you do it? Why do you do it? The brutal truth is that, if you are a merchant, you must be PCI compliant – no matter what size your business is. 

Payment Card Industry has these compliance standards to simply protect personal information and ensure security when processing a credit card payment and eliminate data breaches.  As a company you want to make sure you constantly protect data that is coming into your premises, if not you can get fines up to £500,000 per incident – which can damage your business for good.
