What is PCI DSS?
Why do you need PCI compliance?
Failure to comply with data security standards could be disastrous and have serious long-term negative consequences. Compromised data negatively affect consumers, merchants, and financial institutions. Just one incident can severely damage the reputation and ability of an organisation to conduct business effectively. Account data breaches can lead to catastrophic loss of sales, relationships and standing for a business in the market place, and depressed share price if the business is a public company, whilst negative consequences also include lawsuits, insurance claims, cancelled accounts, payment card issuer fines and many others.
