QRC Joins PCI SSC Global Executive Assessor Roundtable 2026-28

QRC Assurance and Solutions is proud to announce its inclusion to the 2026–2028 PCI Security Standards Council Global Executive Assessor Roundtable (GEAR), reinforcing the organization’s commitment to advancing payment security and protecting payment data worldwide.

QRC is one of 33 organizations selected globally to participate in the Roundtable. GEAR serves as a direct channel of communication between senior leaders from PCI SSC assessor companies and the PCI Security Standards Council’s leadership. It enables participating organizations to contribute industry, geographical and technical perspectives to the Council’s plans, programs and strategic initiatives on behalf of the global assessor community.

As digital payments continue to expand, organizations face increasingly complex cybersecurity risks, evolving technologies and changing regulatory expectations. Collaboration between standards bodies, assessors and payment-industry stakeholders is therefore essential to ensure that security standards and assessment programs remain effective, relevant and responsive to emerging challenges.
