Ericka Chickowski, Contributing editor for Dark Reading published the Top 10 PCI Compliance Mistakes. Ericka outlines the top 10 common mistakes organizations need to avoid when trying to be PCI compliant in 2012.

The number 1 mistake as agreed by Ericka Chickowski and Leonid Shtilman, CEO of Viewfinity is “Not Following Rule of Least Privilege.”

“No More, No Less--- Only the least privileges required,” says Leonid.  This is important because when organizations are making efforts to comply with PCI compliances, they should make sure they are following the rule of least privileges in every step.  Not every user needs to access all data which means they should only be granted administrator rights to those applications and processes needed to accomplish their job.
