AVOID FINES

PCI compliance can be extremely expensive including fines, attorney fees, non-compliance fees and more. After a breach, your business is imposed a per transaction fine, not to mention the requirement to notify every cardholder, paying for their credit monitoring, reversing damages or even facing lawsuits. Such expensive measures will expose your business to unwanted risk which is why over 40% of small businesses will close down after a breach, simply because they cannot afford the costs involved in the aftermath of a breach.
