4 FAQs The PCI Security Standards Council Renamed in 2016

Anyone who relies on the PCI FAQ site for guidance may have noticed some changes in the last few months.

You can still search on the “article number” to find your favorite FAQ, or you may need to use the search page options for “Most Recently Updated” under featured FAQ articles.

By our count, there are some 248 FAQs that have been published since 2008 when the Council launched the FAQ site. Only a small number  have been changed, and only 4 were renamed :
