Why does my business need to be PCI Compliant?
While there are many aspects to data security, protecting your business from a data breach starts with a good foundation. The standards outlined in the PCI process are a practical, tangible process every business must put into place to reduce vulnerability. Businesses that complete the PCI compliance process not only have taken the first steps towards guarding against a costly breach, but also avoid non-compliance fines for forensic investigations, fraudulent purchases, and the cost of re-issuing cards.
