Aberdeen Survey: Protecting Cardholder Data (543 Kb .pdf)

Aberdeen Group’s recent research on Protecting Cardholder Data: Best in Class Performance in Addressing the PCI Data Security Standard indicates that organizations have underestimated the time and resources needed to achieve PCI Compliance. While 82% of Best in Class organizations have executive ownership of the implementation, they even underestimated the total cost of compliance by 80% and required 12-18 months to comply. The frame work established by the PCI-DSS is to establish a common set of standards that will protect cardholder data and the financial burdens on the payment card industry resulting from security breaches. It is imperative that all organizations affected by the PCI DSS standard establish clear ownership for PCI compliance, allocate sufficient resources, and establish a realistice timeframe for implementation.
