What does PCI 3DS Core Security Standard require of a Risk Manager?
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 Risk Manager'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.
