Security Standards White Papers

Using Automated, Detailed Configuration and Change Reporting to Achieve and Maintain PCI Compliance - Part 3

Tags:
security standards

Overview All major bankcards - Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express - adopted a single, unified program as the standard for data security. The new standard, called the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard or PCI, is intended to protect cardholder data - wherever it resides or is transmitted - and requires that merchants and service providers that store, process, or transmit cardholder data meet specific security requirements. Ensuring compliance with the PCI standard is important to organizations for a number of reasons, particularly to protect brand reputation and to avoid fines and additional regulatory scrutiny.
