Smaller Companies Are Larger PCI Compliance Risk

According to Byron Acohido, "Ponemon and Imperva surveyed more than 500 companies globally that cumulatively generate annual revenues of $5.6 billion and found:

• 71% of companies do not treat PCI compliance as a strategic initiative, yet 79% have experienced a breach.
• 55% only focus on credit card information and do not secure Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and bank account details.
• Consumers are more at risk doing business with smaller companies: only 28% of these comply with PCI as opposed to 70% of companies with 75,000 or more employees.
