Comply With the Payment Card Industry – Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS)

Make PCI-DSS compliance, and data security your number one priority with Seclore’s data-centric security platform.

Data Encryption

PCI DSS mandates the encryption of cardholder data both at rest and in transit. This is crucial for protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access and ensuring its confidentiality.

Access Control

PCI DSS requires organizations to implement strong access controls to restrict access to cardholder data based on the principle of least privilege.

Data Loss Prevention

PCI DSS emphasizes the importance of preventing the unauthorized loss of cardholder data.

What is the PCI DSS?

The first set of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) regulations was created by a council of representatives from all major credit/debit card brands—Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and the Japan Credit Bureau (JCB)—and released in December 2001.

The standard evolved as a proprietary information security standard for organizations handling cardholder information for the major debit, credit, prepaid, e-purse, ATM, and POS cards. It was designed as a well-rounded approach to curtailing card fraud and protecting card-related personally identifiable information (PII).

It consists of 12 requirements, including the installation of firewalls, encryption of stored cardholder data, and the implementation of secure access controls.

Why data-centric security matters for PCI-DSS compliance

Data-centric security is highly relevant from a PCI-DSS context because it directly addresses the core objective of protecting sensitive cardholder data. PCI DSS mandates robust security measures to safeguard payment card information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.

Seclore helps enterprises navigate the complex landscape and gain complete control over their most sensitive digital assets. By leveraging Seclore’s data-centric security platform, organizations can effectively implement the necessary security controls to protect payment card data, reduce the risk of data breaches, and demonstrate compliance with PCI DSS requirements.
