About PCI DSS 3.1
In September 2006, the five leading payment brands formed an independent Council to manage the PCI DSS (PCI Data Security Standard). American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa International realized the need to secure payment account data in a globally consistent manner. This PCI council offers robust and comprehensive standards as well as supporting materials to enhance payment card data security globally. The keystone is the PCI DSS, which provides an actionable framework for developing a robust payment card data security process - including prevention, detection and appropriate reaction to security incidents. PCI DSS 3.1 (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard Version 3.1) is the latest version of the PCI DSS.
