Stress free PCI DSS compliance possible
/EINPresswire.com/ IT Governance Ltd, the PCI and information security experts, have reported that the PCI DSS Documentation Toolkit can simplify compliance with the Standard. Smaller and medium sized US companies can use the toolkit as an alternative to consultancy, which is a far more expensive way to achieve PCI DSS compliance.
Any organization which processes, transmits or stores payment card data must comply with the PCI DSS Standard. This includes companies that provide merchants with commerce-related services like web hosting. PCI DSS exists to protect the personal data of payment cardholders and as such, it can be seen as an effective weapon in the battle against fraud and identity theft. Failure to comply with the PCI DSS requirements will result in heavy fines, restrictions or even permanent expulsion from payment card acceptance programmes. Organizations which are unable to meet their security obligations risk becoming vulnerable to data breaches.
The PCI DSS v2.0 Compliance Toolkit (www.itgovernanceusa.com/product/157.aspx) is specifically designed to help card payment-accepting organizations, quickly create all the documentation required to affirmatively answer the requirements of the PCI DSS as set out in the Self Assessment Questionnaire. The toolkit contains a full set of documentation templates for all of the mandatory PCI DSS policies, as well as implementation guidance and ISO 27001 cross-mapping.
Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, says, "The PCI DSS compliance procedure can take anything from a day to many weeks, depending on what is uncovered by the vulnerability assessment scan and the self-assessment questionnaire. Organizations that currently have a good level of information security are likely to be compliant a lot more quickly than those that don't. The content of our toolkit can be used by any organization as both guidance and a basis for putting the policies and procedures in place to meet the PCI DSS requirements. "
