We pulled this snippet from the PCI Security Standards Org web site and it clearly shows that to be PCI compliant you really need to understand what the requirements are of each card brand you support. PCI Security Standards are technical and operational requirements set by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) to protect cardholder data. The Council is responsible for managing the security standards, while compliance with the PCI Security Standards is enforced by the payment card brands. The standards apply to all organisations that store, process or transmit cardholder data – with guidance for software developers and manufacturers of applications and devices used in those transactions.

If you are a merchant that accepts payment cards, you are required to be compliant with the PCI Data Security Standard. You can find out your exact compliance requirements only from your payment brand or acquirer.” Click Here to read more.

If you go into the links and read all the data you will see that part of any PCI Compliance program is to ensure that all paper records containing information such as old credit card details is shredded.
