Adhering to Payments Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS) is an unavoidable requirement for any and all eTailers that accept card payments, but a surprising number of firms are not up to speed on these standards.
Some businesses fail to undergo the routine audits they need to assess their systems’ security, and others do not want to — or cannot — spend the money it takes to upgrade them. Either way, firms that do not comply with these industry standards risk leaving their customers’ data exposed.
Working with payments orchestration providers can help firms like these address their systems’ security flaws by taking on the compliance burden. They can also provide the resources and expertise needed to meet PCI compliance and allow firms to focus on their own core competencies.
