From Burden to Best in Class - The Evolution of PCI DSS Compliance Over Two Decades
WHAT'S INSIDE??? - CHECK THE PREVIEW ABOVE!
. .
Hi, I’m Viv Cullen.
Over the last twenty years, I’ve watched PCI DSS grow from a box-ticking headache that merchants dreaded into one of the most powerful drivers of real security maturity and customer trust in the payments world.
That journey, all the hard lessons, the breakthroughs, the myths we’ve finally outgrown, and where we’re headed next with cloud-native environments, continuous compliance, quantum threats and beyond, is exactly what I poured into my book:
From Burden to Best in Class: The Evolution of PCI DSS Compliance Over Two Decades.
You’ll find the key version milestones explained clearly, honest reflections and quotes from QSAs and CISOs who’ve lived it, several disruptive (and sometimes uncomfortable) questions I still ask myself and my clients, practical case studies from mid-size retailers right up to global banks, a look at how different regions handle the same standard, and probably my favourite part - a proper forward view on the technologies and mindsets that will redefine compliance in the decade ahead.
Whether you’re a QSA who’s done hundreds of assessments, a CISO trying to get budget for more than just ‘checking the box’, or an executive who wants to understand why PCI suddenly feels strategic instead of tactical, I wrote this for you.
It’s not another dry compliance manual. It’s the story of how we got here, what actually works (and what doesn’t), and most importantly - how to turn compliance from a cost centre into a genuine business advantage.
Grab your copy below – I’d love to hear what resonates with you and which ‘ponder this’ question you end up taking to your next board meeting.
Looking forward to the conversation,
Viv
