PCI Compliance:

PCI DSS Compliance continues to gain more and more press and coverage. Streamline have released some information to all streamline users in the form of a leaflet regarding the need for PCI DSS compliance.

They state:
"PCI DSS is a joint development by VISA and MasterCard, fully supported by The Royal Bank Of Scotland Group, and together we urge you to comply as soon as you can. Please be aware that failure to comply could mean at best, fines from the card schemes and at worst, fines for breach of data so it is imperative that you understand what you need to do to protect your business."

They recommend 2 routes for businesses:
1. Completing an audit whereby a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) conducts an onsite audit
2. Complete a self assessment questionnaire
