Achieving and maintaining PCI DSS Compliance
Customers. Service. Trust. Security.
These are the pillars of a thriving business. If you reduce security, you may find yourself without clients and a company.
Every firm that accepts card payments from five leading card brands must be PCI DSS compliant.
Fast Fixx provides you with the technological building blocks and coaching you need to become PCI compliant — and stay that way. We’ll guide you in staying up to date on current rules, protecting your customer data, and planning for the future of digital threats.
Determine the Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) Scope
The first step in becoming PCI compliant is to scope your environment. The Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) scope specifies how the IT environment must implement all PCI DSS controls.
Errors in scoping can have significant repercussions and waste money. Our PCI experts will identify the scope of your CDE to guarantee that you fulfill all security and compliance requirements.
The question is, how does your company determine whether an asset is in scope?
Your PCI DSS audit must include any person, process, or technology that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data.
How Do You Define PCI DSS Scope?
According to the PCI Security Standards Council’s standards, the following are within the scope:
Any device that provides security and authentication solutions, such as a firewall, router, or server
IT asset or system with connectivity into the CDE, whether physical, wireless or virtualized
Any IT asset that transports cardholder data or is involved in the cardholder data flow
Gray regions can often present issues for enterprises when determining whether an asset is in or out of the CDE ecosystem.
Ask yourself if the asset stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data when in doubt. Is the asset connected to the CDE, and does it provide security services?
Ensure all security requirements are met
To maintain proper payment security, you must have a firewall set up that protects cardholder data, as well as a way for securely storing it.
Network segmentation helps enterprises tremendously minimize the PCI scope.
Using network segmentation helps your organization decrease its PCI scope. This lowers costs, reduces time and effort to achieve compliance.
Fast Fixx will collaborate with your team to verify that your network is appropriately segregated and data is encrypted. This will apply to every place where cardholder data moves.
