Die fünf Stufen von PCI DSS

Der Artikel ist nicht von mir, er ist aber lesenswert und ich kann die Erfahrungen bestätigen:

Had a meeting with a prospect recently that is bound and determined to avoid PCI compliance yet still will accept payment cards.

My response?  Good luck with that!

You would think after 15 years of PCI (and actually even longer) that people would understand that PCI compliance is a fact of life.  But I continue to find that PCI is no different than the five stages of grief.

Denial

This is where that prospect is now.  They cannot believe that there is no way to avoid PCI compliance.

For once and for all, if your organization accepts payment cards, you MUST comply with the PCI DSS.  Do not like that answer?  There is nothing as a QSA I can do to effect that fact.

However, for merchants there is a way out.  Do not accept payment cards for payment.  It is that simple.

That answer though immediately leads to the next stage.
