While in Italy there is much debate about cash limits and incentives for electronic payments, a dangerous aspect emerges from the report dedicated to digital transaction security updated to 2019 and produced by Verizon. "Compliance with payment security has decreased for the second year in a row, with American-based organizations not keeping up with the others," says the telecommunications giant. To check how things are, the company uses the PCI DSS launched by Visa and the main card players in 2004, a standard dedicated to security and data protection. When it was launched, recalls Verizon, "many believed that organizations would achieve an effective and sustainable level of compliance within five years. Now, 15 years later, the number of companies globally reaching and maintaining compliance has fallen since 52.5% (RDP 2018) to 36.7% ".
Looking at the safety map, a counter-intuitive picture emerges: "Locally, organizations in the Asia-Pacific region (APAC) demonstrate a greater ability to maintain full compliance, 69.6% of them do so compared to 48% of companies in the Europe-Middle East-Africa (EMEA) area and just 20.4% (1 in 5) of those in the American continent "."After witnessing a gradual increase in compliance between 2010 and 2016, we are seeing a negative trend and a growing geographical differentiation," said Rodolphe Simonetti, Verizon's Global Managing Director for Security Consulting. "We see a growing number of organizations that are unable to achieve and maintain the required compliance for PCI DSS, which has a direct impact on the security of their customers' payment data. With the PCI DSS 4.0 version that will come launched shortly, companies have the opportunity to reverse this trend by rethinking how they implement and structure their compliance programs. "
