To Help Merchants Protect Credit Card Data, SecurityMetrics Releases 2019 PCI Guide
SecurityMetrics released their 2019 Guide to PCI DSS Compliance. The guide provides a practical outline of the 12 requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and helps merchants and service providers better understand the steps needed to protect payment data and achieve compliance with this data security mandate.
Merchants often have a difficult time attaining and maintaining PCI compliance for a variety of reasons. A lack of resources, time, and familiarity with the PCI DSS can hinder compliance efforts and leave businesses vulnerable to cyber attacks and data leaks. SecurityMetrics’ research concluded that the average breached organization was not compliant with at least 44% of the PCI DSS requirements at the time of data compromise.

The 2019 Guide specifically helps merchants and service providers address the most problematic issues within the 12 PCI DSS requirements. Functionally interactive features enhance the downloadable PDF Guide experience for all experience levels.
Brenda Clark, Compliance and Security Manager at NTT America, Inc., said, “The SecurityMetrics Guide to PCI DSS Compliance is a one-stop guide to PCI DSS compliance. This is the best comprehensive guide I’ve found.”
