The Challenge:

The sheer volume of card payments around the world offers a tempting and lucrative opportunity for hackers. According to the Federal Reserve, in 2018, Americans made 131.2 billion card payments worth $7.08 trillion. But as card payments grow, credit card fraud and theft grow too: in 2019, the Federal Trade Commission received 271,000 reports of credit card fraud in the US.

At the same time, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is constantly evolving. PCI DSS was created to ensure  that card transactions are secure throughout the entire payments ecosystem. PCI DSS 3.2.1 is currently the gold standard for organizations handling payment card information, but will be replaced by its more stringent successor, PCI DSS v4.0, from March 2024.

For any business processing payment card data, maintaining compliance with the latest PCI DSS requirements is critical. Failing to comply with the PCI DSS comes at the risk of financial penalty as well as increased exposure to data compromise. A breach can mean a potential loss of revenue, customers, brand reputation and trust.
