PCIDSS Compliance

Credit card and financial fraud are on the rise in the modern world, and agencies have responded in kind with expanded regulations. One of the most widely-recognized of these regulations is PCI-DSS. This set of regulations was put in place to help reduce fraud, specifically by protecting customer credit card information.

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard- (PCI-DSS)

• The PCI-DSS defines the uniform procedure when implementing security requirements for secure storage and management of credit card data.
• The PCI data protection standards summarize the testing requirements of the programs operated by VISA (Account Information Security - AIS) and MasterCard (Site Data Protection - SDP).

Cybersecurity starts from proper awareness. Briskinfosec BINT LAB cybersecurity researchers continuously put extraordinary effort to help you to realise cybersecurity better and faster. Just download the Case Study and ThreatSploit Adversary report.

• Network Monitoring : PCI DSS requires your organization to identify and monitor all systems that come in contact with credit card data. For many businesses, this comprises a large chunk of business systems. Briskinfosec integrates with and monitors all your network systems, providing comprehensive PCI compliance security monitoring.
• Vulnerability Assessment : PCI DSS includes a mandate that all security systems are analyzed for vulnerabilities on a regular basis. Briskinfosec provides real-time analysis and vulnerability assessments, so your IT department can handle them as soon as they are identified.
• Event Correlation :Event correlation software both captures user activities and correlates events in your system, spotting patterns in authentication attempts and behaviors to spot threatening or unusual behavior. The Briskinfosec systems even prioritize threats and filter out false positives to help your team focus on the most pressing problems.

• Intrusion Detection : Monitoring traffic in your system is essential to your organization’s security, and identifying intrusions and attacks is even more essential. Briskinfosec immediately identifies intrusions, allowing your users instant visibility to combat the threat in real time.
• Log Management :PCI DSS event log management and storage is the basis of SIEMStorm, LOG Storm and CYBER Shark, automatically collecting logs about events in your system as they happen. By collecting these logs, along with all applicable peripheral data, your team has all the material they need to investigate and report on events thoroughly.
• Reporting :Reporting is an essential part of PCI-DSS compliance for regulated businesses, as the regulations require businesses to report on breaches as soon as possible after an event occurs. LOG Storm includes a set of reporting packs, including PCI-DSS reporting packs, to help your organization respond as quickly as possible after an event, so you can focus on mitigating the damage.

• Compliance with the PCI DSS means that your systems are “secure”, and customers can trust you with their sensitive payment card information:
  • Trust means your customers have confidence in doing business with you – Confident customers are more likely to be repeat customers, and to recommend you to others.
  • Implementation of PCI DSS controls protects sensitive data, reduces the risk of compromise, and helps maintain your corporate reputation

• Compliance improves your reputation with acquirers and payment brands
  • These are the partners you need in order to do business

• Compliance has indirect benefits as well:
  • Through your efforts to comply with PCI Security Standards, you’ll likely be better prepared to comply with other regulations as they come along, such as HIPAA, SOX, etc.
  • The PCI DSS can help form the basis for a corporate security strategy – Assets and processes developed for PCI Compliance can be leveraged generally across the organization as information security best practices

A Holistic Approach - when it comes to PCI compliance.

Organizations that have the most successful compliance programs eschew this attitude. Instead, they adopt an active approach to compliance.

Policies form the core of any well-designed information security program. They both designate information security responsibilities and provide staff with the appropriate authority to implement controls.

Organizations seeking to become PCI-compliant may wish to start by creating a set of information security policies that meet the specifications of PCI DSS Requirement 12 and outline the organization’s overall approach to information security.

• Data security :Testing, identity and access management, antivirus software and password security requirements
• Network security :Firewall and network device management, remote-access provisions and encryption standards
• Physical security :Access procedures, inventory mechanisms, visitor controls, video surveillance and data destruction requirements
• Personnel security :User education and training, background checks and design of proper workflows to protect cardholder information IT teams can use this policy framework to build out an appropriate set of information security controls.

• Briskinfosec can help you meet PCI DSS compliance by:
  • Conducting risk assessments
  • Helping you to understand your obligations
  • Putting in place robust precautions to safely preserve the integrity of personal and financial data

• Conducting penetration testing
• Scanning for vulnerabilities
• Fixing identified vulnerabilities
• Conducting endpoint monitoring
• Managing your cyber incident response
