PCI
The Payment Credit Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requires PCI members, merchants, and service providers that store, process, or transmit cardholder data to apply security requirements to all “system components” - defined as any network component, server, or application included in, or connected to, the cardholder data environment. PCI DSS Requirement 1 requires you to install and maintain a firewall configuration and to periodically review firewall policies. Requirement 3 requires encryption of cardholder data or to install monitoring as a compensating control. PCI DSS Requirement 10 mandates to “track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data,” including a requirement to retain log data for one year, with a minimum of 3 months available online, and to review log data “daily”.
