The 3-D Secure framework adds an additional layer of security to e-commerce transactions, requiring cardholders to authenticate their identity using various methods, such as one-time passwords or biometric authentication.

Determine the scope​

RA will take the initiative by performing scoping exercise in a form of workshops to ensure that security controls cover all in-scope facilities, locations, retail outlets, data centers, back-office locations, etc., it is crucial to determine the complete scope of the cardholder data environment accurately.
