More information to help you sell:

The Ponemon Institute recently issued a new study. They surveyed about 517 total US and multinational IT security professionals involved in PCI Compliance initiatives for their respective companies. In the survey, Ponemon resolved to collect information on the following topics:

• Who is most responsible in an organization for ensuring compliance with PCI DSS requirements?
• What technologies enable compliance with PCI DSS requirements?
• What is the scope of compliance with PCI DSS?
• Does PCI DSS decrease, have no impact or increase security threats?
• What is the value PCI DSS compliance provides to the organization?

71 percent of companies do not treat PCI as a strategic initiative, coincidentally, 79 percent have experienced a data breach.
