  1. Myth: PCI is confusing and not specific!“We don’t know what to do, who to ask, what exactly to change”“Just give us a checklist and we will do it. Promise!”Reality: PCI DSS documents explain both what to do and how to validate it; take some time to read and understand it.<- Also, read our book on PCI! Reality: PCI DSS is basic, common sense, baseline security practice; it is only hard if you were not doing it before.It is no harder than running your business or IT – and you’ve been doing it!
