The senators also demanded answers from the credit card companies on a number of issues surrounding the new labeling of gun store purchases, including their understanding of the ISO process, what input they gave the ISO, coordination with outside entities such as activist organizations or politicians, how the information will be used to curb suspicious firearm sales and how the financial privacy of law-abiding customers will be ensured.

I still contend that there is great confusion on that bolded part. Seems to me that our lawmakers are essentially ignorant of what the ISO is and how its global standards are applied. And despite empty-talking-head Letitia James, I'll wager a bet that this line from the Fox article is at least partly false:

New York City officials had put pressure on the ISO and banks to adopt the new code on gun shop sales.

I don't know how New York City officials could, or would go about, putting pressure on the International Organization for Standardization. I explained the basic ISO change process upstream. ISO officials in Geneva act in governance for the vote, but the votes themselves are cast, one per each, by the multiple countries participating on the commission for any given ISO standard. You can't pressure "ISO" because it isn't "ISO" deciding on changes to the standard. That's like idiot-boy Beto saying that Greg Abbott sets Texas state law. He doesn't. The legislature does.
