According to an ITPolicy study, organizations that embrace compliance as a core principle in business strategies tend to spend less money on compliance annually, reduce data breaches, and increase revenue. While credit card companies have always been vulnerable to fraudulent activity, the evolution of electronic commerce has introduced many new opportunities for malicious users to intercept sensitive data from vendors, banks, and third-party entities.
To combat the increasing cost of using unauthorized credit card data, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), were established. Authored by the PCI Security Standards Council—an independent organization consisting of representatives from the major credit card brands—the PCI DSS requires merchants and their business partners to ensure the safety of cardholder data by performing due diligence and employing best practices.
IOActive is a certified Quality Security Assessor (QSA) and an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) by the PCI Security Standards Council. Unlike some QSAs who take a minimalist, checklist approach, we believe that compliance is part of an organization's enterprise risk management universe. Understanding that the PCI standards apply to any company that stores, processes, or forwards credit card information, IOActive offers a range of PCI services that fit within an organization's existing business framework.
