Merchants subject to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) rules are often blindsided by DSS changes, arrival of new payment technologies, and newly emerging business context. In addition, many organizations still narrowly focus on annual PCI assessment and not on running an ongoing compliance program. A structured approach for dealing with such changes, involving relevant stakeholders, evaluating their impact, and planning controls to close the gap should be adopted by security teams. This will help make the security program resilient to environmental and PCI changes so that the organization can be secure and PCI compliant at any moment.
