PCI Compliance is a Helpful Hassle
One of my favorite summertime activities is camping with my family. Campfires, hiking, outdoor cooking and just unplugging from the daily grind.

Most of us take a common sense approach to everyday life. For example, before leaving for work in the morning, we unplug the iron and lock the front door. That reduces the chance of burning down the house or having someone steal your stuff. You don’t need a reminder…it’s just common sense.
