PCI DSS: Preventing Costly Cases of Non-Compliance

There is a substantial cost associated with reaching and maintaining PCI DSS compliance requirements, but the cost of non-compliance is often much greater. While the initial cost of the technology, staff and other resources necessary to implement satisfactory controls has its price tag, it is vital that all organizations affected by the PCI standard consider both the short and long-term costs of non-compliance as well as the benefits to meeting the requirements. This is especially important as PCI DSS evolves and increase in complexity as the standard moves towards becoming a federal regulation. The costs of non-compliance can far exceed the cost of systems to bring a company into compliance, as demonstrated by so many high profile data breaches.
