Meeting and Exceeding PCI 1.1 Compliance Today

Secure Computing

Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diner’s Club, Discover, and JCB collaborated to create a new set of standards based on CISP (Cardholder Information Security Policy), and known as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI). All merchants and service providers that handle, transmit, store, or process information concerning any of these cards, or related card data, are required to be compliant with PCI or face contract penalties or even termination by the credit card issuers.

The primary purpose of this standard is to protect credit card data by reducing fraud and theft. The PCI standard seeks to accomplish this through a "defense-in-depth" strategy. There are six primary areas covered by PCI, divided into 12 requirements.

This paper discusses these requirements, and how Secure Computing’s portfolio of security solutions can help enterprises meet and exceed the basic compliance requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards requirements (PCI), version 1.1.
