The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) instituted a major rewrite of the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) in v4.0 which becomes mandatory on March 31, 2024. Small and Medium sized businesses (SMB) may typically have smaller PCI security compliance environments to manage, compared to large enterprises, but they typically also have fewer resources to apply to the design and management of security compliance programs. SMB organizations benefit from designing PCI security programs that achieve more results with less. An agile approach to PCI security program management helps SMBs succeed.
