PCI Compliance

Every organization that accepts credit card payments must comply with PCI DSS requirements, regardless of its size or number of transactions.

In order to comply with PCI DSS, organizations must maintain a comprehensive audit trail of all access to cardholder data. For organizations to comply with the standard, log management systems should be implemented so they can collect, retain, and review logs to identify potential security threats.

Using Logit.io, you are able to collect log data from a wide range of sources, such as servers, network devices, and applications, to then analyze this data to make operating in compliance easier.

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance means that organizations processing, transmitting, or storing credit card information comply with PCI DSS requirements.

Complying with PCI DSS requires a comprehensive assessment of an organization's systems, processes, and controls. Compliance can be achieved by self-assessment questionnaires, on-site audits by qualified security assessors (QSAs), or a combination of both. Maintaining compliance requires regular testing, monitoring, and reporting after an organization achieves compliance.

To ensure your organization is handling credit card data securely, you must adhere to PCI DSS requirements and guidelines. Complying with PCI DSS can be accomplished in the following ways:

It is important to remember that PCI DSS compliance requires ongoing management. In order to comply with the standard, organizations must monitor their systems regularly, conduct risk assessments, and implement security controls.

Logit.io, is a popular solution among compliance specialists due to its ability to be used to facilitate compliance with PCI DSS standards. In order to support compliance efforts, Logit.io can be used in a variety of ways to centralise logs, metrics and traces.

The Logit.io platform can also be used to set up alerts and notifications to keep track of specific events, such as failed login attempts or suspicious activity that needs to be investigated. A system such as this can help organizations detect and respond to potential security threats in a timely manner, as defined by the PCI DSS, when those threats arise.

Logit.io also enables organizations to implement access controls that ensure that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive log data. It is possible to use this method to help organizations comply with PCI DSS's requirements for access control.

In terms of reporting, Logit.io provides a variety of reporting capabilities that can help organizations generate the kind of reports that they need to meet PCI DSS compliance requirements, such as audit trail documentation and incident response documentation.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that while Logit.io can assist organizations in achieving PCI DSS compliance, to ensure that organizations are fully compliant with the standard, they must also implement a variety of other security controls and policies.
