Why we built Infosec Standards
If you have ever been handed a compliance requirement for the first time, you know the feeling. A customer asks for your SOC 2 report. A payment processor asks for your PCI attestation. A prime contractor asks about your CMMC level. You open a search engine, and an hour later you have twenty tabs open and still cannot answer the basic questions: who actually runs this standard, who is allowed to assess you against it, what document comes out the other end, who is going to read it, and what all of this is going to cost in money and in your team's time.

Challenges of PCI-Compliant Multi-Factor Authentication
In the era of ever-evolving cybersecurity threats, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) has emerged as a hallmark of robust user authentication.

The distinction PCI makes between multi-factor and multi-step authentication (MSA) presses developers into a challenging trilemma. This article explores this trilemma, the real-world MFA practices of major internet platforms, and the pitfalls in the PCI guidance.
