The scope of the standards has increased exponentially since the card brands first came together to form the Security Standards Council in 2006. PCI DSS 4.0 has taken years to develop and will significantly modernize payments security when it goes into effect in January 2024.
“We’ve worked with TNS as their security assessor since the beginning, through every evolution of the PCI standard, multiple acquisitions and digital transformation,” added Kevin Pierce, Chief Operating Officer at Viking Cloud.

The pandemic, new market entrants and methods of payment, digital transformation and cloud migration have changed consumer behavior and accelerated new payments adoption. At this tipping point, the PCI standards remain embedded in the ecosystem where data security has become a more collaborative responsibility, and where compliance has evolved from an isolated IT expense to a more vital investment in people, process, and technology.
“We’ve achieved this success through collaboration and by respecting the premise and promise of compliance across the global ecosystem,” said Umer Ayub, Chief Risk Officer at TNS. “We are proud of our success in providing secure connectivity across millions of consumer touchpoints.”
