Most businesses that accept credit card or
debit cards are still struggling to comply with PCI DSS, a
report by Verizon has revealed. Verizon had found this last
year as well.

The Verizon Payment Card Industry
Compliance report
, shows only 21% of organisations were fully
compliant during the audit.

The Verizon report is based on findings from
more than 100 PCI DSS assessments and data gathered by Verizon’s
Investigative Response.

Findings also suggests that that the lack of
PCI compliance continues to be linked to data breaches.

Wade Baker, director of risk intelligence,
Verizon said:

“We believe that compliance with PCI standard
will ultimately improve the security posture of organisations and
in all likelihood lead to fewer breaches,”
