Back in 2010, while blogging about a POS breach at a small merchant, I noted that small merchants and Mom and Pop outfits weren’t getting enough information and support to be PCI-DSS compliant.
One of my main resources for breaches in the hospitality sector has been Charles Hoff, JD, MBA. Charles has extensive experience representing restaurants and dealing with security breaches. And now he’s come up with a great free resource for small merchants: PCI University, a user-friendly site designed to help small merchants understand PCI-DSS compliance, to assess their risks, and to receive help and information.
Check out the site and share the link with any small business owners you know.
