PCI DSS and Click&DECiDE
What is PCI DSS?
PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS). It
was developed by the major credit card companies as a guideline to help organizations
that process card payments prevent credit card fraud, hacking and other security
issues. A retailer processing, storing, or transmitting credit card numbers must
be PCI DSS compliant or they risk to lose the ability to process credit card payments.
PCI DSS reflects the combined interests of VISA, MasterCard, Discover, Amertican
Express and JCB. These five credit card brands agreed on a common set of security
standards. Prior to this, each card brand managed their own set of requirements:
- MasterCard - Site Data Protection (SDP) Program.
- VISA - Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) and Account Information Security
(AIS)
- Discover - Discover Information Security and Compliance
-
American Express - Data Security Operating Policies
Merchants and Service Providers must validate compliance with an audit by a PCI
DSS Qualified Security Assessor (QSA). For the

Click&DECiDE's Solution
Click&DECiDE's PCI Compliance Suite helps your IT staff to respect key mandates
of PCI DSS Version 1.1. PCI DSS mandates that an information security policy must
be established, published, maintained and desseminated. This policy includes:
- A process to identify and assess threats, vulnerabilities and risks.
-
A formal annual review and subsequent updates when the environment changes.
Click&DECiDE enables organizations processing credit card transactions to respect
these mandates, to collect data, archive data and monitor, report and alert on all
systems and applications that contain sensitive cardholder data. For example, Click&DECiDE
manages the following security events.
- Security Events:
- Failed system-level and application-level login attempts
- Failed access attempts to files or application data
- IDS/IPS events
- Exploitation of a system by a virus, worm or an unauthorized individual (hacking)
- Configuration Changes:
- Routers
- Firewalls
- Hosts
- Applications
- Other IT assets that are part of the credit card process
- Asset Changes:
- Applications being installed or removed
- Addition or removal of user and group accounts
- Service Changes
