Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v10) — Question 139

This international organization regulates billions of transactions daily and provides security guidelines to protect personally identifiable information (PII). These security controls provide a baseline and prevent low-level hackers sometimes known as script kiddies from causing a data breach. Which of the following organization is being described?

Answer options

• A. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE)
• B. International Security Industry Organization (ISIO)
• C. Center for Disease Control (CDC)
• D. Payment Card Industry (PCI)

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, the Payment Card Industry (PCI), as it specifically focuses on securing payment data and provides guidelines to protect PII from various threats. Options A, B, and C are unrelated to transaction regulation and PII security, with IEEE being a technical standards organization, ISIO lacking recognition in this context, and CDC primarily concerned with public health rather than data security.
