A. B. C. D.B.
The business needs PCI compliance.
PCI compliance is a set of security standards established by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) to ensure that merchants who accept credit card payments maintain a secure environment. The PCI DSS (Data Security Standards) covers technical and operational requirements for businesses of all sizes that accept credit card payments.
In this scenario, the business will be accepting credit cards in a physical location as well as through their web presence. Both of these channels require secure handling of credit card data to protect against potential theft or fraud.
PCI compliance ensures that the business meets the necessary standards for securely handling credit card data in both environments. This includes measures such as encrypting cardholder data, regularly monitoring and testing systems for vulnerabilities, and maintaining secure networks and systems.
PHI certification refers to certification for the handling of protected health information, which is not relevant in this scenario. POTS implementation refers to implementing Plain Old Telephone Service, which is not relevant either. PII filtering refers to the filtering of personally identifiable information, which is also not relevant to the scenario.
