I am slowly losing my mind and will to live because of this PCI audit, I hate it so much

Care to elaborate?

This might be interesting. Let's hear.

Heh, good luck...

If it's your first, it's always a bloody nightmare. It's not enough just to make sure the tech is secure, the hard part is making sure there's comprehensive documentation on everything from pushing code to disaster planning / recovery (and everything in between.)

Once it's all there and you keep on top of it, subsequent audits aren't nearly as bad.

@molaram what. a. comparison.

Also interested in an elaboration, if you feel like it

@matt-jd

It basically is a certification for companies that store and use credit cards. Like shops and payment gateways.
