Meet the Challenge of Stringent PCI Requirements

The Payment Card Industry’s Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was created to increase controls over cardholder data and reduce fraud. It helped uncover industry-wide shortcomings in data protection, but critics often argue that PCI compliance is expensive, confusing, and subjective—both in interpretation and enforcement.

Unlike other regulations, the PCI standard comes from private industry rather than government mandate, which may account for its severe penalties and stringent requirements. For example, PCI is the first regulation to explicitly require encryption. The PCI standard currently consists of 12 main requirements, and over 200 sub-requirements. With so many nested rules that range from anti-virus controls to penetration testing, interpreting PCI DSS and determining how it applies to your systems can be quite difficult. But the work doesn’t end there. You still need to find a way to show PCI auditors that your system is compliant.

“Compliance software from HelpSystems reminds me of any policy exceptions every day, so nothing slips through the cracks. We’re doing more with less, and we don’t want to go looking for the problems, we want them to come to us. This solution accomplishes that for us.”

Using PCI Standards to Guide Risk Management

As a member of the PCI Standards Council, HelpSystems understands how to achieve PCI compliance, even when it comes to the most complex compliance requirements. The right tools can help you avoid common compliance violations:

A poorly configured firewall
Lax anti-virus controls
Unauthorized changes to system components
Incomplete event logs
Users with unnecessary access to personally identifiable information (PII)
Lack of penetration testing

Implementing a PCI DSS compliance solution sets your organization on the path toward comprehensive IT security controls. The PCI standard can be used as a resource that informs your risk management strategies, guiding you toward sound security practices. When you’re able to transform real-time information about your system into meaningful security insight, you’re better able to maintain PCI compliance between assessments and close security gaps on your system.
