2015 Verizon PCI compliance report showed an increase in PCI compliance among businesses

The number of organisations that fully complied with the payment card industry (PCI) security standards during 2014 rose to 20%, according to the latest Verizon PCI compliance report. Previous reports showed that in 2013, only 11.1% of companies worldwide were fully PCI compliant, with average global compliance rising to 93.7% in 2014, up from 85.2%.

The report indicated that the level of full compliance was due to an improvement of compliance across the board, with over 60% of organisations assessed during 2014 compliant with any of the 12 PCI DSS requirements. As a result, PCI DSS compliance went up by an average of 18% for 11 out of 12 requirements.
