Payment Card Industry's (PCI) is designed to safeguard credit card data from the time it is received until the end of its life cycle. The stakes are high for organizations that rely on heavy use of credit card processing to sell products and services, especially on the Internet. It only takes one security breach and the harm to a merchant's organization can be permanent. Understanding which requirements of the "12 Commandments" are the most challenging for other organizations can help to avoid wasting time, money, and effort on the wrong ideas or technical solutions.
