Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) provides a security framework for developing a strong security process for credit card transactions. Any retailer/merchant or service merchant provider who accept, transmit or store cardholder data must be PCI compliant. We help our clients to set up infrastructure and application controls as per PCI DSS security standards and work closely with QSA auditors to close the GAP assessment. We assist our clients with quarterly scans, vulnerabilities remediation, SIEM solutions, Daily log reports, etc.
We have a dedicated team to work on PCI DSS implementation and certification. The team works closely with QSA auditors to fix the gaps and vulnerabilities.
The 12 PCI compliance requirements are summarized below:
Protects cardholder data inside the corporate network
Change passwords periodically, do not use defaults
Implement physical and virtual measures to avoid data breaches
Data must be encrypted, and you should never store card validation data
Use and regularly update antivirus on all systems holding sensitive data
Actively search for vulnerabilities and remediate them
Sensitive data should be accessible on a need-to-know basis
Only accessible with authentication and user identification
Ensure unauthorized personnel cannot access equipment
Log and review access to critical systems
Ensure controls remain effective over time
