Using ISO 27001 for PCI DSS Compliance
Overview The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) isn't dramatically different to the requirements of the best practice security standard - ISO 27001, except that PCI doesn't mention any of the prerequisites required for a management framework, e.g. management commitment, scope definition, security awareness training, ongoing improvement plans, whereas ISO 27001 omits a lot of the detail around how controls are actually implemented. So therefore, one could be forgiven for believing that MasterCard and Visa assumed PCI would contain additional security requirements to sit on top of an already established Information Security Management System (ISMS).
