Key Components

Access Control Implementation

PCI requires strict access controls including unique user IDs, strong authentication, role-based access, and restriction of cardholder data access to business need-to-know. We implement and configure access control systems that meet these requirements while remaining manageable for your IT team and minimally disruptive to operations.

Network Security Controls

Firewalls, intrusion detection, and network monitoring are foundational PCI requirements. We implement and configure network security controls that protect the cardholder data environment, including firewall rules, IDS/IPS systems, and security monitoring. All configurations are documented and reviewed regularly.

Encryption & Key Management

PCI requires encryption of cardholder data in transit and at rest. We implement encryption solutions and key management procedures that meet PCI standards, including TLS configurations, disk encryption, database encryption, and secure key storage. Proper key management is essential—encryption without key management is just complexity without security.

Logging & Monitoring

PCI requires comprehensive logging and regular log review for all systems in the cardholder data environment. We implement centralized logging, automated alerting, and log review procedures that meet PCI requirements. Our solutions balance thorough monitoring with practical alert management to prevent alert fatigue.
