Compliance Process
Validating your compliance is the beginning of an ongoing process.
Key Steps to Achieving PCI Compliance
1. Educate
Develop Owner/Operator established training, policies, and procedures.
- Standing Operating Procedures
- Employee security training
2. Assess
Take inventory of your IT assets and business processes for payment card processing and analyze them for vulnerabilities.
- Validate with SecureConnect (an Approved Scanning Vendor)
- Confer with payment application vendors (or reseller/integrator) to ensure their software does not store prohibited data (e.g., magneticstripe,CVV2 or PIN data)
3. Remediate
- Use scanning and logging reports to prioritize any security threats in order of importance
- Fix vulnerabilities that are detected
- Re-scan to verify the remediation process was successful
4. Report
- Assemble records required by PCI DSS to verify remediation
- Submit compliance reports to the acquiring bank and card payment brands you do business with
