That\u2019s why we felt it was essential to help reduce these risks by working with industry experts Eckoh to promote this free e-guide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tony Porter, Head of Global Marketing, Eckoh explains: &#8220;As companies lock down their point of sale transactions, increase security in data centres and on websites, criminals are increasingly turning to the next weakest link. Crime targeting &#8216;card not present&#8217; (CNP) transactions in the UK last year, was over \u00a3506 million and represented 75% of all card fraud and is set to rise to \u00a3680 million by 2020<sup>[1]<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPCI DSS compliance is relevant for any merchant or service provider accepting or processing payment cards. In the guide, we have outlined how to achieve PCI DSS compliance, &#8216;bust some myths\u2019 and look at potential solutions to managing cardholder data securely. It is clear that organisations need to take rapid and aggressive action to prioritise making payments secure, and this guide can help those responsible for compliance make informed decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For further information and to download the free guide, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allpay.net\/our-solutions\/credit-debit-cards\/call-centre\/call-masking\/\">www.allpay.net\/our-solutions\/credit-debit-cards\/call-centre\/call-masking\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>[1] National Audit Office<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new free guide has been launched to help organisations that handle payment cardholder information.
