MENLO PARK, Calif., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ --

    WHAT:     A flurry of new regulations, guidelines and clarifications
              designed to improve credit card security at the point of
              purchase has retailers and other organizations that accept
              credit card payments - especially their internal audit,
              information technology and information security staff -
              scrambling. With three new pieces of guidance on the docket for
              Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, as well as larger fines
              for non-compliance, these companies face not only external
              pressures to beat deadlines but also internal pressures to meet
              requirements in a strategic and cost-effective manner.
