PCI DSS Compliance

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that all companies that accept, process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. Compliance with PCI DSS is crucial for protecting cardholder data and preventing data breaches. Key components of PCI DSS compliance include.

Build and Maintain a Secure Network and Systems

This involves installing and maintaining a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data and ensuring that vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters are not used.

Implement Strong Access Control Measures

Access to cardholder data should be restricted to only those individuals whose job requires such access. This involves assigning a unique ID to each person with computer access and restricting physical access to cardholder data.

Maintain a Vulnerability Management Program

This includes using and regularly updating anti-virus software or programs and developing and maintaining secure systems and applications.

Protect Cardholder Data

Organizations must protect stored cardholder data and encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks.

Regularly Monitor and Test Networks

Organizations must track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data and regularly test security systems and processes.

Maintain an Information Security Policy

A policy that addresses information security for all personnel should be maintained.
