We can all agree that the payment card industry and its associated regulations are there to help us ensure the safety of our organisations and those we serve.
However, we must also acknowledge that it is incredibly difficult to integrate compliance into our everyday activities.
Questions like these are easy to ask but difficult for any organisation to consider in terms of PCI:
- How and in what capacity do we store, process and transmit cardholder data?
- How must different types of business - whether they are in the services, retail, data centre or contact centre industry - protect information?
- What payment services are offered in each geography and how are they regulated?
How to operate globally, across regulatory jurisdictions, while making sure you adhere to the local regulations is a difficult task, particularly if the responsibility for PCI is not properly assigned.
Paul Curtis is an Enterprise Compliance PMO at FedEx is one of our expert presenters at next month's PCI Portal conference in London on 22 January at Park Plaza Victoria. His presentation, entitled 'Whose Job is PCI Anyway?', will examine the challenges of truly integrating PCI into everyday business activities; how to navigate through different geographies, jurisdictions and cultures; and provide delegates with a united approach to protecting brand reputation through BAU.
We will also hear from John Elliott, head of payment system security at VISA Europe, whose presentation focuses on balancing security and compliance in light of the changes that are evolving in the digital payment industry.
