Next comes some analysis. Examine and discuss PCI DSS in a limited, albeit complementary, way. Look specifically at Kentucky’s laws, regulations, and business practices in order to examine PCI DSS from a state-level perspective. Are there other Kentucky laws that govern payment cards? What Kentucky laws implicate PCI DSS? What are some things that Kentucky business leaders need to be aware of when they accept payment cards at their establishments?

In further analyzing PCI DSS, and without necessarily homing in on Kentucky stakeholders, what other American laws or regulations might relate to, implicate, or otherwise find a nexus with PCI DSS? Here, the audience needs to understand, as you will, that PCI DSS does not operate in a vacuum. Rather, like most of what we’ll learn in ISOL 633, there are numerous laws, regulations, and other governing principles that interact with PCI DSS to form an overall governance model.
