The PCI Data Security Standard represents a common set of industry tools and measurements to help ensure the safe handling of card holder information and credit card data. Initially created by aligning Visa's Account Information Security (AIS)/Cardholder Information Security (CISP) programs with MasterCard's Site Data Protection (SDP) program, the standard provides a framework for developing a robust account data security process - including preventing, detecting and reacting to security incidents. In September 2006, the PCI Security Standards Council ("PCI SSC") became the recognized credit card industry standards organization to own, maintain and distribute the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) and all its supporting documentation.
