"Organizations across the board are having to demonstrate that they are compliant with the PCI Data Security Standards. The standards don't just pertain to retailers and financial institutions, it affects utility companies, healthcare organizations -any entity storing, transmitting or processing credit card data," said Erik Petersen, vice president of Professional Services at SecureWorks. "Compliance continues to be one of the driving forces motivating organizations to tighten up loop holes in their information security, and although the PCI Standards Council will not penalize you for non-compliance, credit card processors might implement financial or usage penalties. In addition, data breaches are also a concern. If an organization does not put the proper information security measures in place, they run the risk of being compromised. This can be costly, both financially and from a reputational perspective."
