How many identification numbers are available for PCI device?
Card numbers today are generally made up of 15 or 16 digits with the truncation rule set at first six and last four being the only digits electronically stored as part of rendering the PAN unreadable (Requirement 3.4).
Is last 4 digits of credit card PCI?
The PCI-DSS only requires you to protect the PAN if you are storing MORE THAN the first six and last four digits. E.g. 4111 11** **** 1234 can be stored without being considered sensitive data. I see that cardholder name and expiration date can be stored without PCI DSS being applied.

Can a third party company validate PCI compliance?
