The PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) has reappointed usd AG to the Global Executive Assessor Roundtable (GEAR).
Since 2018, the GEAR has enabled a direct exchange between PCI assessor companies and the senior leadership of the PCI SSC. It is a great honor for us to have been involved since its inception - and will continue to do so for the next two years.
Christopher Kristes, Executive Board Member and Head of Security Audits & PCI, usd AG
Every two years, leading PCI assessor companies from around the world are selected to provide advice, feedback and guidance to the PCI SSC on assessments and assessor programs, representing the perspective of the PCI assessor community. In this cycle, the GEAR will consist of 33 members.
We need voices from across the assessor community to help ensure we are providing the best standards and programs to support the industry in protecting against today’s modern cybercriminal. We’re pleased to have usd AG on the PCI SSC Global Executive Roundtable to provide critical insights and help us build on the great efforts that are already being done to increase payment security globally.
Gina Gobeyn, PCI SSC Executive Director
As a strategic partner of GEAR, we continue to support the PCI SSC with our industry-specific expertise and the latest insights from assessment practice. In line with our mission “more security”, we are thus contributing to the goal of further advancing security standards that sustainably increase payment security in companies while remaining practicable and operable at the same time.
