The PCI Data Security Standard is a complex security standard that focuses on security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design, and other critical protective procedures. These security standards are relevant to any merchant, service provider, or subservice provider, that uses, stores or transmits information from a payment card. The PCI DSS was jointly developed by the payment card brands to encourage and enhance cardholder data security and facilitate the broad adoption of consistent data security measures globally. Its purpose is to ensure that all of the data that lives within the Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) is protected and secured from theft or unauthorized use. The current version, PCI DSS 3.2, has approximately 394 controls, 6 control objectives, and 12 major subject areas.
