Standards are often force-fed to the industries they govern, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with the latest version of the PCI Data Security Council’s global Data Security Standard (DSS). According to the council, during the three years it took to develop the new standard, more than 200 organizations provided more than 6,000 items of feedback.
“The industry has had unprecedented visibility into, and impact on the development of PCI DSS v4.0,” says PCI SSC executive director Lance Johnson. “Our stakeholders provided substantial, insightful, and diverse input that helped the council effectively advance the development of this version of the PCI Data Security Standard.”
