How easy is it to become PCI DSS Compliant?

Posted by Chris Noell
As part of my daily ritual, I search security news for interesting articles to see how other organizations are approaching compliance and risk management.  I stumbled upon this article from ITnew.com.au – How Woolworths made IT risk a business issue – and there was a quote that stuck out:

"It's easy to become [PCI DSS] compliant, but it's really hard to maintain compliance," [Peter Cooper, Woolworths’ risk manager] noted. "You see regularly companies that have PCI breaches; it's the sustainability that's really important."

PCI Compliance is a Helpful Hassle

Posted by Glenn Moore
One of my favorite summertime activities is camping with my family.  Campfires, hiking, outdoor cooking and just unplugging from the daily grind.  We camp in a 30' RV which really blurs the line between camping and staying at a hotel.  The RV has air conditioning, shower/bathroom, and a full kitchen.  It's far from roughing it!
