The Ponemon Institute released a study on the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS) Compliance Trends Study. The study asked 670 IT security professionals worldwide how efforts to comply with the standards affect their companies’ data protection and security. Only 39 percent mentioned data security improvement as one of the regulation’s value propositions for business. The report also found that two-thirds of respondents have achieved substantial compliance with PCI DSS. In 2009, only 25 percent of respondents in 2009 hadn’t achieved any level of compliance.”]
