PCI 3DS Core Security Standard for DPOs
What does PCI 3DS Core Security Standard require of a DPO?
The PCI Security Standards Council's standard for the environments in which EMV 3-D Secure core components run: the Access Control Server (ACS), Directory Server (DS) and 3DS Server. Under PCI 3DS Core Security Standard, which defines 143 controls, a DPO's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which PCI 3DS Core Security Standard controls land on the DPO
