PCI Compliance Software - Enforcive

What is PCI?

The PCI data security standard or PCI DSS is a set of rules meant to ensure a sufficient level of security in organizations of the payment card industry, or in other words companies are involved in the issuing and management of credit cards. The standard was developed and is maintained by a body known as the PCI Security Standards Council, originally created by several of the world's leading credit card companies.
The council provides a document - the PCI Compliance Self Assessment Questionnaire (PCI SAQ) - to help assess the degree by which your organization complies to the PCI DSS. It can be downloaded free from the PCI DSS official website.
Compliance with the standard can be aided by the use of PCI compliance software to facilitate both implementation of the requirements and the carrying out of a PCI security audit. Most of these software products are security software tools whose primary purpose is security information systems rather than being dedicated only to PCI. As such they serve other compliancy requirements too.
