Security Standards White Papers

Policy: Where It All Begins for PCI Compliance

Tags:
security standards

Overview PCI compliance can be intimidating because it is a highly prescriptive, broad-reaching set of requirements, potentially including all of the information systems in its scope. This paper provides organizations with practical advice and tips from Security Innovation, a Qualified Security Assessor Company (QSAC). Though the PCI Security Standards Council defines and builds the global Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), each card brand, e.g., Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and JCB, enforces it via its compliance program and dictates the validation steps and documentation required to show compliance.
