Explanation
PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) was created by major card brands (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) with one primary goal: protecting cardholder data and securing credit/debit card transactions. It defines technical and operational requirements for any organization that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data. PHI (Protected Health Information) is governed by HIPAA, PII (Personally Identifiable Information) is addressed by privacy regulations like GDPR, and Change Management is an IT governance process - none of these are the focus of PCI-DSS.
