New PCI DSS Guide for Merchants

We just published a new PCI compliance resource guide for merchants.  The guide is intended to provide simple and quick information security steps for small to mid-size merchants that accept credit and/or debit cards as a form of payment.  Such payments are accepted either in the merchant store or on-line using third-party hosted payment software.  As a result, the guide is geared towards the merchant that doesn’t store payment data or maintain the security of the payment software, not merchants that host the payment software on their own systems of which they control and operate for transmission of credit and/or debit card data to a payment processor.

You can download the guide at our PCI Compliance Guide page.
