Overview
PCI compliance spells trouble for some, and success for others. For business executives, PCI compliance is often viewed as an undesirable expense. For security consultants, it's often a "cash cow" revenue stream. For consumers, it's essential degree of assurance which assures personal and financial information is kept confidential.
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) itself is actually non-policing, self-regulating group of credit card institutions including Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, DiscoverCard, and JCB International which have established a data security standard or "DSS" for storing and processing financial information.
