IT Governance launches content hub to assist businesses with their PCI DSS compliance challenges.

ELY, ENGLAND, November 12, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Qualified Security Assessor for the PCI DSS and cyber security consultancy firm IT Governance has launched a new content hub that offers incisive and practical advice to assist businesses with their PCI DSS compliance challenges.

Drawing on the combined experience of IT Governance’s accredited QSA team of experts, consultants, trainers and auditors, the hub aims to keep visitors up to date with the latest requirements of the PCI DSS.

The resource centre features a comprehensive collection of resources, downloadable white papers, infographics, articles and free trials.

The launch of the hub coincides with the recent revelation that hundreds of TalkTalk customers’ personal data was breached because of a lack of effective encryption practices.

Although the PCI DSS does not specifically address personally identifiable information, the same processes and procedures stipulated by the PCI DSS for card security can apply to other data as well.

As Jeremy King, international director of the PCI Security Standards Council, recently stated during a press interview, “All data needs to be protected. And our standard is applicable to all data security. [...] If you don't need it, don't store it. And if you do need it, encrypt it.”

With the impending release of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, European businesses are preparing for more stringent data security and breach notification requirements. Experts predict that the number of reported data breaches will increase significantly next year.

The PCI DSS resource centre can be found on the IT Governance website.
