Bob Russo, general manager of the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), spoke to Finextra about the council's recent introduction of a quality assurance programme for assessors, this month's global compliance mandate from Visa, and what the organisation has learned from recent data security breaches at merchants and service providers.
The PCI SSC is a global, open industry standards body providing management of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), PIN Entry Device (PED) security requirements and the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS). These standards aim to ensure that merchants and other organisations that process card payments prevent credit card fraud, hacking and various other security vulnerabilities and threats.
