What is PCI-DSS?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) is a global standard that applies to any business that accepts, processes, stores, transmits, or impacts the security of cardholder data. Overall, PCI is divided into 12 major sections, with several appendices, and 5 of 12 PCI sections are supported by Nightfall.

Why you need cloud-native DLP for PCI-DSS

The standards require DLP for ALL PCI covered entities. Specifically, under the standards DLP is required for:

Appendix 3.2.6 which requires covered entities to implement a mechanism for detecting and preventing cleartext PAN from leaving the cardholder environment and references DLP specifically.

Section 12 requires the implementation of support information security organizational policies and programs. DLP can help teams build enforceable information security policies, as well as provide end-user security awareness and training.

Section 3 states that there should be methods for minimizing risk include not storing cardholder data unless absolutely necessary, truncating cardholder data if full PAN is not needed, and not sending unprotected PANs using end-user messaging technologies, such as e-mail and instant messaging. Nightfall specifically covers these messaging technologies and can identify when such data is being stored somewhere where unauthorized access has or may occur, as well as redact sensitive data.
