I wonder if many Call Centres who have access to customer payment records are having any issues with introducing home-working due to the need to adhere to Payment Card Industry security standards.

Any thoughts on whether PCI standards are having an adverse effect on using homeworkers?

Any thing that creates more difficulty or work can have a ripple effect and create problems for anyone, including homeworkers.

While I don't think the PCI compliance targets homeoworkers there can be additional steps required to ensure they are compliant.

If a company is still serious about having homeworkers though I don't think PCI would affect this negatively to any extreme extent.
