Five Challenges to Continuous PCI DSS Compliance

Tripwire: As UK and US enterprises adopt the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, both business and IT managers face a number of challenges. They include:

1. “Misunderstanding what the term ‘PCI compliance’ means in a given context.”
2. “Treating PCI compliance as an audit process rather than a private industry standard.”
3. “Scoping PCI compliance too broadly.”
4. “Treating PCI compliance as a single-point-in-time, rather than ongoing activity.”
5. “Failing to use automated tools to generate evidence of continuous compliance.”

This white paper examines those challenges and explains how Tripwire solutions can help organizations overcome them.
