About the PCI Portal Merchants and acquirers who use credit card companies such as VISA and MasterCard have to be compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. The PCI-DSS aims to help organisations tackle fraud, reduce the risk of suffering from a data breach, and implement effective information and data security policies. The PCI Portal, the PCI Europe Forum, and the PCI Series are all designed to provide merchants, acquiring banks, and transaction processors with an information resource that offers practical advice on meeting the requirements of the PCI-DSS.  During the past 12 months the PCI Series of events have attracted in excess of 1500 delegates, comprising senior representatives from acquiring banks, payment service providers, card data processors, merchants and service providers from across Europe.  NEXT EVENTS    December 1, 2008          January 27, 2009  Support and Sponsorship Case Studies and Links PCI Directory
