What is the PCI Security Standards Councils organizational structure and how is it staffed and funded?
The PCI Security Standards Council was funded by initial contributions by the participating payment brands and will be funded in the long term through ongoing business operations, including QSA and ASV approval programs. The organization consists of an Executive Committee, a global Advisory Board to provide strategic and technical guidance, a Management Committee to run business operations, a Technical Working Group to evolve the PCI Data Security Standard, and a Marketing Working Group for ongoing marketing activities. A General Manager will oversee day-to-day operations.
