As part of its commitment to collaboration, the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) has announced that it will be holding a community meeting in Toronto, Canada in September. The three-day meeting will give participating organizations and PCI SSC-approved qualified security assessors and approved scanning vendors the chance to interface with council executives and committee members and to hear perspectives from representatives from across the payment chain on their direct experience in the field.
The council has also announced the start of the feedback gathering process for the PCI Data Security Standard. Participating organizations will soon be receiving materials to solicit feedback on the underlying requirements of the current standard and self assessment questionnaire, due late June.
The council plans to present an overview of the findings from the PCI DSS feedback process, and solicit active discussion at its Toronto meeting.
The PCI SSC also indicated that voting had begun as part of the recently initiated board of advisors election process and that the results for the 14 community-appointed seats would be made publicly available in June. The board of advisors will represent the current roster of nearly 200 PCI SSC participating organizations.
