Security experts and compliance frameworks (such as PCI DSS) agree: Reviewing and updating security policies is an essential step in compliance.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, USA, May 28, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- When it comes to maintaining an effective information security program, there are many steps essential to integrating essential assurance topics into an organization's business as usual approach. In fact, many security models require organizations to regularly review information security policies and procedures.

Recently, the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council released an updated version of its Data Security Standard. The standard must be followed by any entity that stores, processes, or transmits credit card data and is designed to help protect credit card data. As a result, these requirements apply to all organizations that accept credit cards as a form of payment, and other organizations that can affect the security of those transactions.

The most recent version of PCI DSS (3.1) requires organizations to maintain effective policies and procedures that meet the intent and rigor of over 1000 testing objectives. For many organizations, ensuring compliance with so many requirements is a time intensive and expensive process. As a result, some companies do not maintain information security policies in a proactive manner. This often results in a general decrease in security maturity, non-compliance with security standards, and an increased risk of data breach.

"When it comes to cost effectiveness, purchasing the InfoSecure Policy Toolkit is unbeatable in value," said Patrick Bass, InfoSecure CEO and co-founder. "Our comprehensive Policy Toolkit satisfies all of the PCI DSS version 3.1 requirements and provides an effective platform for rapid PCI DSS compliance," explained Bass.
