The Challenge

With more and more business transactions being made by credit and debit cards, it essential that organisations are equipped to protect client account data. Within the media recently there has been reports of major retail brands being fined millions due to security breaches involving customer bank details. Within the modern climate many companies would not survive a similar situation.

The PCI DSS, a set of comprehensive requirements for enhancing payment account data security, was developed by the founding payment brands of the PCI Security Standards Council. Its aim is to help facilitate companies to develop world wide guidelines in the consistency of data security.

The PCI DSS outlines numerous security standards that include requirements for security management, network architecture policies, procedures, software design and other critical protective measures.

As outlined on the PCI DSS official website the major requirements highlighted are:

• Build and maintain a secure network
• Protect cardholder data
• Maintain a vulnerability management program
• Implement strong access control measures
• Regularly monitor and test networks
• Maintain an information security policy
