It formulates concrete requirements for the security management and the protection measures of computer networks in companies that are processing credit card transactions.
PCI is based on the Visa-account-information-security-program (AIS and its sister program CISP), the MasterCard-site-data-protection-program (SDP), the American Express security operating policy (DSOP), the discover information security and compliance (DISC) and the JCB- security rules.
