Why You Should Comply With PCI

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.

What is PCI DSS?

In order to prevent credit card fraud and data breaches, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JCB developed a set of security standards known as PCI DSS.

To ensure the security of cardholder data, organizations must comply with 12 requirements, including maintaining a secure network environment, implementing strong access controls, monitoring and testing their networks regularly, and maintaining robust security policies.

Any organization accepting credit cards must comply with the PCI DSS requirements. A failure to comply with the requirements can result in hefty fines, reputational damage, and legal action.

What is PCI DSS compliance?

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.

Who Needs To Meet Compliance With PCI DSS?

Merchants, service providers, and other entities that store, process, or transmit credit card information must comply with PCI DSS, regardless of their size or number of transactions.

Payment card industry data security standards apply to all organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder information, including merchants, service providers, processors, acquirers, and issuers. A variety of businesses are included in this category, from small startups to large corporations.

Failure to comply with PCI DSS can result in serious consequences, such as fines, legal actions, and damage to a company's reputation. PCI DSS requirements must be understood and followed by organizations to protect sensitive information of their customers and maintain customer trust.

How To Become Compliant With PCI DSS

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:

  • You must determine your merchant level based on the number of credit card transactions you process annually. In order to determine the appropriate level of compliance for your organization, you will need to determine your merchant level.
  • Become familiar with the twelve requirements of the PCI DSS standard, which cover topics like network security, access controls, and monitoring.
  • Determine the level of risk associated with each threat to your organization's credit card data by conducting a risk assessment.
  • Implement new security controls, policies, and procedures to improve compliance with PCI DSS, based on your risk assessment.

    • 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.

    Log Management For PCI DSS

    According to PCI DSS, organizations must comply with the following requirements:

  • Organizations must define their log retention policies based on the standard's requirements. Logs must be retained for at least one year, backed up daily, and stored off-site in a secure environment.
  • Logs must be collected and analyzed from all systems and devices that process or store cardholder data. Servers, network devices, applications, and other relevant components fall under this category.
  • Organizations also need to safeguard their log data against unauthorized access, modification, and deletion. It may be necessary to use encryption, access controls, or other security measures to achieve this.
  • It is imperative that organizations regularly review their log files for potential security incidents. In addition, they must establish procedures for responding to incidents uncovered by log analysis.
  • Auditing procedures and policies must be documented in order to maintain an audit trail. This includes procedures for monitoring, reviewing, and archiving logs.

    • By using an integrated log management system such as the one provided by Logit.io, organizations can ensure compliance with PCI DSS requirements, and detect potential security threats and breaches in real time.
