Overview
As the Payment Card Industry–Data Security Requirements (PCI-DSS) marks its 20th anniversary, the areas of accountability are expanding beyond card payment data to encompass a holistic view of merchants’ data security ecosystems across all commerce channels. Although the scope of PCI-DSS is not increasing, per se, as it relates to the security requirements for payment data, merchants must attest to having compliant security processing places across the enterprise. For the first time, merchants can construct their compliance checklists that address the risks in their businesses rather than using a template provided by the PCI standards.
