Meager Media, a Richman client, is a small to medium-sized business involved in the sale of
used books, CDs and DVDs, and computer games. Meager Media has stores in several cities

support a credit card transaction processing and e-commerce website.
Write a summary report detailing what Meager Media must do when setting up its website to
maintain compliance with the PCI DSS standard. Obtain a copy of the PCI DSS standards
document from the PCI DSS website and address all 6 principles and 12 requirements in your

The PCI DSS includes 6 principles, 12 primary requirements, and over 220 subrequirements that

Adhering to the PCI DSS can be expensive, especially for small businesses with limited
resources. As you attempt this assignment, consider what types of measures can be taken to
adhere to the PCI DSS in a more cost-effective manner.
