New addition to the IT Governance catalogue: PCI DSS – A Pocket Guide, Fourth edition

ELY, UNITED KINGDOM, November 27, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The international information security experts IT Governance have added a new title to their catalogue: the fourth edition of PCI DSS – A Pocket Guide by Alan Calder and Geraint Williams.

Fully revised to cover version 3.1 of the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), PCI DSS – A Pocket Guide, Fourth edition provides all of the information you need to consider as you approach the Standard.

PCI DSS – A Pocket Guide, Fourth edition is also an ideal training resource for anyone in your organisation involved with payment card processing. Coverage includes:

• An overview of PCI DSS v3.1.
• A PCI self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ).
• Procedures and qualifications.
• An overview of the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS).

All merchant and service provider organisations that accept, store, transmit or process cardholder data must comply with the PCI DSS; failure to do so can have serious consequences for their ability to process card payments.

Published in, and effective from, April 2015, PCI DSS v3.1 addresses vulnerabilities within the SSL and TLS encryption protocols. SSL and early TLS cannot be used by PCI DSS-compliant organisations after June 2016.

PCI DSS – A Pocket Guide, Fourth edition is available from IT Governance in various formats (including softcover, Adobe eBook, Kindle and ePub).
