PCIDS Standard

["Richard Piedrahita" <piedrahr () wchsys org>]

Hello:

This note is not to question the wisdom of the Payment Card
Information Data Security Standard due to become effective on June 30
here.

What I would like to find out is if this is something that the card
companies are adopting and are pushing on down to their merchants (it
looks like it is),
or,
is this another regulation/law somewhere that needs to be tracked and
checked off as "Compliant" for all businesses that accept credit card
payments of one sort or another?

Is there any information on how to identify which business software is
in compliance with this standard (at least for small retail or
restaurant like businesses)?

Thanks,
Rick.
