Certified Network Defender (CND) — Question 53

A local bank wants to protect their card holder data. The bank should comply with the __________ standard to ensure the security of card holder data.

Answer options

• A. PCI DSS
• B. SOX
• C. HIPAA
• D. ISEC

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is PCI DSS, which stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, specifically designed to secure credit and debit card transactions. SOX, HIPAA, and ISEC do not pertain directly to cardholder data security; SOX is related to financial reporting, HIPAA focuses on health information, and ISEC is not a recognized standard for this purpose.
