In this book I have been a strong advocate of the PCI DSS integrated data security controls framework, its strong heritage built from other industry security controls and its effectiveness to defend your business against your ever-present threats. I am still amazed to hear of those payment card security businesses who
  • Bury their heads in the sand (ignoring their obligations to safeguard payment card data processing operations)

  • Merely regard PCI DSS as a tick box approach

  • Do not see any business benefits (return on investment (ROI))

  • Don’t perceive themselves to be of interest to the opportunist attackers
