The tutorial explains three main components of PCI: Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), Report on Compliance (ROK), and Self-Assessment Questionnaire. It also outlines the 12 requirements for PCI compliance, organized into six control objectives. The video concludes with a reminder that while PCI compliance is not federally mandated in the U.S., some states have laws referring to it.
