PCI Compliance: Why is it important?

Merchants who can claim PCI compliance can be trusted by their customers because they know their data is safe. PCI compliance also boosts reputation among business partners. Not being PCI compliant can have some serious effects on your business. Compromised data can affect your own business and your consumers very negatively. One incident can damage credibility and your reputation. Consumers will lose trust in your business if there is any unsecure data. Some consequences can include fines, cancelled accounts, insurance claims, and lawsuits.

Over 60% of credit card breaches in the United States occur with small to medium sized businesses. A breach can disrupt a business to the point of closing the business if a breach should occur. The fines to a merchant from the card associations and lack of confidence from customers can easily close the doors for a merchant.
