An Evolving Standard

PCI Security Standard Council’s latest update to the PCI DSS standard guarantees cardholder data protection on recovery sites, masking standards for card numbers, multifactor verification for personnel, and more. This paper outlines the upgrades from PCI 3.1 to PCI 3.2. If you have not yet implemented the 3.1 standard, please take a look at our step by step guide to transition from 3.0 to 3.1.

The council has given sufficient time for merchants to incorporate these changes; most upgrades will be effective from February 2018.
