Despite all the bleating about PCI over the years, I found it to be too weak.
With all the focus on Cardholder Data - as being that on the Mag Stripe - namely Cardnumber, Cardholder Name, Expiry Date and Security Code - I found many Merchants & Service Providers treated it as a 'max' rather than 'min' level of security.
I performed due diligences on places where lots of other personal data such as Mothers Maiden Name, Cardholder Address, Phone Number, e-mail address, Date of Birth, Passport Number, Gender, Religion, etc etc was never encrypted, simply because PCI itself didn't tell them to do so.
