Insufficient Hospitality Technology Solutions May Be Impairing Payment Card Industry Compliance.

On February 13th, SecurityMetrics released findings from its annual Payment Card Threat Report.  According to the report, two-thirds of merchants are not compliant with the PCI DSS, because these merchants have insufficient credit card security and fail to eliminate sensitive personal information.

 “Dated technology is incapable of assisting its owner to meet today’s current payment security objectives,” said SecurityMetrics CEO, Brad Caldwell.  PCI compliance for hoteliers should incorporate modern hospitality technology solutions as well as PCI compliance training in order to achieve an effective PCI compliance program for the hospitality industry.  To receive the full benefit of the PCI Data Security Standards, hoteliers should take advantage of custom learning solutions, such as PCI compliance training modules and similar training on best practices for using hospitality technology.
