IT Governance publishes new PCI DSS case study

ELY , UK, April 9, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- IT Governance, the fast-growing cyber security services provider and a PCI QSA company, has published a new PCI DSS case study. It provides insight into how its client, Appletree Communications Ltd, achieved Level 1 PCI compliance.

The new case study can be downloaded from: www.itgovernance.co.uk/resources/case-studies/appletree-communications-(pci).aspx.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is administered by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) to decrease payment card fraud across the Internet and increase credit card data security. Organisations that store, transmit or process cardholder data must comply with the PCI DSS.

Appletree’s main challenge was to find a cost-effective route to compliance. With a fairly small team, the company was required to draw on limited resources to fulfil the requirements of the Standard. IT Governance was a perfect fit because of its focus on providing inexpensive and flexible compliance solutions that can help organisations of any size or budget. As a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), IT Governance has been certified by the PCI Security Standards Council to validate an organisation’s adherence to the PCI DSS.
