The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) covers the fundamental aspects of information security and extends through the people, processes and technologies involved in payment card processing systems.
This whitepaper was prepared by the BSI QSA team to help organizations better understand PCI DSS requirements and prepare for a compliance assessment. It will serve as a roadmap and provide reasonable expectations for merchants and service providers to begin or renew the process of validating compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards.
