PCI DSS version 1.2 differences and updates
Posted by Xavier Ashe on October 3, 2008
On October 1, 2008 the PCI SSC released version 1.2 of the PCI DSS requirements. There are a number of changes as outlined previously in the update document. The PCI SSC has established a life cycle process that will ensure the PCI DSS standard is revised and updated on a two year cycle. What follows is a detailed outline of the differences between version 1.1 and 1.2 (some that have not been discussed previously) and the implications of those changes. (Unless otherwise noted, those items in quotations are taken directly from the PCI DSS or the update document linked above.)
Good dissection of the new reg from the PCI Blog.
