Session 1: PCI: Setting the Stage for Success
Compliance is a necessity for all organizations in the payment process, but how far do merchants need to go in addressing PCI requirements? In this session, Diana Kelley and Ed Moyle walk you through the payment lifecycle; the role of issues, acquirers, merchants and duce costs, and they provide an explanation of compensating controls and when to use them. Return to the office with straight answers to the following questions:
- Who has to comply with PCI DSS?
- Which companies have to validate the requirements?
- What does the process entail?
- What does it mean to scope the audit environment for improved efficiency?
- When, where, and how to use compensating controls?
Session 2: The PCI Audit: Requirements 1-6
In this session, Ed Moyle and Diana Kelley review the first six requirements for PCI while addressing changes between 1.1 and 1.2. Learn strategies for defining physical and technical boundaries that help reduce the scope of PCI assessment, saving time, energy and resources.
Explore how to institute a preliminary gap analysis to show where you might be deficient in your audit and how to use the results of the gap analysis to locate potential compensating controls. Save your company money by understanding when implementing compensating controls is sufficient for achieving compliance and when purchasing new solutions is necessary. Review the documentation, procedural and technical implementations for each of the first six requirements:
- Requirement 1: Firewalls
- Requirement 2: Vendor-supplied defaults
- Requirement 3: Protect stored data
- Requirement 4: Network encryption
- Requirement 5: Anti-virus software
- Requirement 6: Develop and Maintain Secure Systems and Applications
