Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is fast becoming the de facto standard for securing critical infrastructure across many industries. The PCI DSS codifies best practices through precise and specific requirements for implementation and compliance audits. The recent spate of data leaks and security breaches have also sparked a sense of urgency amongst businesses to become PCI compliant in the hope that the implementation will improve their security as well. A quick search for PCi DSS on Google reveals over 50 sponsored links for products ranging from vulnerability scanners to remediation services.
