Simplifying PCI DSS Compliance

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Organizations that process credit card transactions must comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

While organizations are generally able to comply with the requirements therein specified, many struggle with meeting section 10 of PCI DSS. 

Requirement 10: Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data

Under requirement 10, PCI DSS stipulates the secure logging of, and monitoring access to, data networks. This requires organizations to not only ensure logs are complete and kept safe from tampering, but also to proactively review user activity on their data networks.

Why is Requirement 10 so difficult to implement?

A critical element of this requirement is the need to periodically review access logs and perform proactive network monitoring.

Top reasons for difficulty with PCI DSS Requirement 10 include:

1. Limited access to qualified staff: competent network security analysts are very hard to find, leaving organizations unable to fill open reqs.
2. The "Big Data gap": organizations collect logs all over but lack big-data enabled solutions to empower analysts to analyze the data effectively.
3. Analysts are swamped: as discussed in a prior newsletter, analysts often need to follow inefficient processes due to the lack of proper tools.

In other words, the problem is around people, process AND tools, a combination conspires to produce a low ROI for network security teams, ultimately affecting the organization's security readiness.
