PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a standard used in the payment card industry. Protected Health Information (PHI) is any individually identifiable health information that is created, used or disclosed while providing healthcare services. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a United States law aimed at protecting PHI. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is any information that is capable of identifying an individual. PII is protected by regulations, such as GDPR (in the EU) and HIPAA and PCI-DSS (in the US). Finally, Change Management is the process of planning, implementing and controlling changes to a company's information systems.
