With high profile credit card breaches in the news such as the TJX debacle, the PCI Data Security Standard is top of mind for corporate IT executives.

This has resulted in numerous myths that value-added resellers (VARs) and service providers are likely to hear from clients. Let's look at five common myths surrounding PCI compliance to help you set the record straight.
