The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council (SSC) is a global forum founded in 2006 by the five major card brands: American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and JCB International. The mission of the PCI SSC is to develop standards and supporting services to drive education, awareness, and effective implementation by stakeholders to combat the increase of identity theft and credit card abuse. The PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) is a standard in place to secure an environment that stores, processes, and/or transmits cardholder data. This standard is comprised of technical and administrative controls.
