There is a Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council which defines the PCI-DSS.

https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/ is their web site and https://www.pcicomplianceguide.org/pci-faqs-2/ is the specific web site where I learned about them which suggests that Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB came together to form this organization on 9/7/2006. By the way, JCB and Discover are not the same thing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Credit_Bureau suggests they have had an alliance since 8/23/2006 right before the PCI SSC was set up, but Japan Credit Bureau does not own Discover.
