As the technology used by merchants and their partners has evolved, card fraud has become more sophisticated. Any business that stores or transmits cardholder account data is a potential target, and recent data indicates that 4 out of 5 cardholder breaches occur at the point of sale.

In response to this evolving threat, the major credit card companies (American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB, MasterCard Worldwide, and Visa International) have created a set of security standards to protect their customers from security breaches and identity theft.

By following the standardized, industry-wide procedures of PCI DSS, organizations can:

• Protect their customers' personal data.
• Boost customer confidence through a higher level of data security.
• Insulate themselves from financial losses and remediation costs.
• Maintain customer trust and safeguard the reputation of their brand.
• Provide a complete 'health check' for any business that stores or transmits customer information.
