There is another option for proper data security and storage that simplifies all these security controls. Simply don't store any data on your own system. Remote storage is becoming a very popular option for merchants who are worried about attacks on their system and possible security breaches.

The only way to ensure that your data security measures are effective is through constant monitoring and management. The unfortunate truth of the matter, though, is that most merchants simply don't have the time or resources to efficiently and actively control the security on their systems.

But there are companies out there now who specialize in providing effective data security and storage. Remote storage on these systems is one of the best ways to protect sensitive data and take some major steps toward becoming PCI compliant.

Above all, remember that these steps are about more than simple compliance. As consumers grow more weary about who they give their information to, it will be more and more important to guarantee the safety of their personal data.
