Crossbow Enterprise Cybersecurity is awarded a third consecutive PCI SSC GEAR term covering 2026–2028, according to reports from multiple outlets. The company says the new term reflects its ongoing participation as a PCI assessor organization.

The articles note that Crossbow joins a global group of 33 assessor organizations worldwide involved in supporting PCI security standards and programs. Both sources present the award as part of the PCI SSC GEAR process, emphasizing continuity of participation across consecutive terms.

While both outlets describe the same decision and timeframe, they focus on similar themes: the length of experience and the role of assessor organizations in helping PCI standards evolve and function. Neither source provides detailed performance metrics, the scope of the company’s assessments, or specific changes to the PCI SSC GEAR program for the 2026–2028 term.
