Maintaining Continuous Compliance With PCI DSS Requirements

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) has in recent years emerged as a de-facto best practices security approach in the payment card industry. Compliance is much more than a single deadline. Having tools in place that help maintain compliance on a continual basis will lessen the financial and operational impact that audits generally have on an organization, while helping companies maintain the required safeguards. The ability to prove that such safeguards have existed for the entire duration between audits will both minimize the chance of breach as well as protect the company from liability should a breach occur.
