This would take over 72 hours just to read. There are over 1,800 pages of official documentation, published by the PCI Council, about PCI DSS, and over 300 pages just to understand which form(s) to use when validating compliance. If your business model requires you to handle card data, you may be required to meet each of the 300+ security controls in PCI DSS. Understanding PCI DSS can be complex and challenging They banded together through the PCI SSC to align on one standard policy, the PCI Data Security Standards (known as PCI DSS) to ensure a baseline level of protection for consumers and banks in the Internet era. Before the PCI SSC was established, these five credit card companies all had their own security standards programs-each with roughly similar requirements and goals.
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and JCB formed the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) in 2006 to administer and manage security standards for companies that handle credit card data.
To improve the safety of consumer data and trust in the payment ecosystem, a minimum standard for data security was created. These are the latest numbers from The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, which reports on data breaches and security breaches impacting consumers dating back to 2005.
Since 2005, over 11 billion consumer records have been compromised from over 8,500 data breaches.
