Another thing that I think people fail to keep in mind is that when it comes to PCI, it is part of a contractual agreement between the entity and card facility they are working with. If a business wants to accept credit cards as a means of payment (based on volume) then part of their agreement is that they must undergo compliance to a standard implemented by the industry. I don't know why people get all emotional about it and throw up their hands with all the "this is wasted money" positioning - it's not wasted at all; it is simply part of the cost of doing business in that market. t From: full-disclosure-bounces () lists grok org uk [mailto:full-disclosure-bounces () lists grok org uk] On Behalf Of Christopher Gilbert Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2010 4:48 PM To: Mike Hale Cc: full-disclosure; security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Compliance Is Wasted Money, Study Finds The paper concludes that companies are underinvesting in--or improperly prioritizing--the protection of their secrets. Nowhere does it state that the money spent on compliance is money wasted.
