Hoboken, New Jersey – June 7, 2011 –A new website and knowledge center from eMazzanti Technologies, a PCI DSS and IT support specialist, provides information and a free PCI DSS compliance network assessment—a must for any company doing business online.

Why is PCI DSS Compliance So Important?
The list of merchants that have experienced a breach in the security of credit card data continues to grow.

The threat of a data breach to an organization and the subsequent damage to customers and company are real.
However, the task of complying with the PCI DSS mandates and securing cardholder data can be a daunting project for most merchants. PCI DSS defines detailed technical, physical, and administrative mandates.
“Taking no action is not an option. Partial compliance is not an option,” said Mazzanti. “PCI DSS offers only two alternatives – Pass or Fail. If you do not meet all of the requirements that apply to your organization, you fail.”
