,PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
The PCI DSS applies to all entities that store, process, and/or transmit cardholder
data. It covers technical
and operational system components included in or connected to cardholder data. If you
accept or process payment cards, PCI DSS applies to you.
Sensitive Authentication Data
Merchants, service providers, and other
entities involved with payment card processing must never store sensitive
authentication data after
authorization. This includes the 3- or 4- digit security code printed on the front or back
of a card (CVD), the data stored on a card's magnetic stripe or chip (also called "Full
Track Data") - and personal identification numbers (PIN) entered by the cardholder.
Card Verification Data Codes (CVD)
3 or 4 digit code that further authenticates a not-present cardholder
Visa-CVV2
MC- CVC2
Discover- CVD
JCB-CAV2
AmEx- CID
Requirement 1
Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data
Network devices in scope for Requirement 1
Firewalls and Routers- Routers connect traffic between
networks, Firewalls control the traffic between networks and within internal network
QIR Qualified Integrators & Resellers
, Qualified Integrators & Resellers- authorized by the SSC to implement, configure
and/or support PA-DSS payment applications. Visa requires all level 4 merchants use
QIRs for POS application and terminal installation and servicing
Compensating Controls
An alternative control, put in place to satisfy the requirement for a security measure
that is deemed too difficult or impractical to implement at the present time.
Permitted reasons for using Compensating Controls
Organizations needing an alternative to security requirements that could not be met due
to legitimate technological OR documented business constraints, but
has sufficiently mitigated the risk associated with the requirement through
implementation of other compensating controls
Examples of Compensating Controls
(i) Segregation of Duties (SOD) and (ii) Encryption
Compensating Controls must:
1) Meet the intent and rigor of the original stated requirement;
2) Provide a similar level of defense as the original stated requirement;
3) Be "above and beyond" other PCI DSS requirements (not simply in compliance with
other PCI DSS requirements); and
4) Be commensurate with the additional risk imposed by not adhering to the original
stated requirement.
Compensating Controls Worksheet
1) Constraint; 2) Objective; 3) Identified Risk; 4) Define Compensating Control;
5)Validate Controls; 6) Maintenance (COIDVM)
Card Data that cannot be stored by Merchants, Service providers after authorization
Sensitive Authentication Data. i) 3- or 4- digit security code printed on the front or back
of a card, ii) data stored on a card's magnetic stripe or chip (also called "Full Track
Data"), and iii) personal identification
numbers (PIN) entered by the cardholder
Card Data that MAY be stored
i) cardholder name, ii) service code (identifies industry iii) Personal Account Number
(PAN)
iv) expiration date may be stored.
Network Segmentation
The process of isolating the cardholder data environment from the remainder of an
entity's network
Not a requirement but strongly recommended.
Report on Compliance (ROC)
Prepared at the time of the assessment of PCI compliance and comprehensively
provides details about the assessment approach and compliance standing against each
PCI DSS requirement
What is included in the Report on Compliance (ROC)?
