ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During a security requirements workshop for a European e-commerce application that will store customer details and cardholder data, a developer asks how GDPR and PCI DSS differ in their authority. Which statement correctly identifies the governing source for each set of requirements?

  • GDPR is binding EU legislation, while PCI DSS is an industry standard defined by payment card brands.

  • Both GDPR and PCI DSS are voluntary frameworks with no contractual or legal penalties for non-compliance.

  • PCI DSS governs all personal data across Europe, and GDPR applies only to cardholder data handled worldwide.

  • GDPR is an industry guideline without legal force; PCI DSS is US federal law enforced by regulators.
