Firstly there are not going to be any spoilers in here I am afraid; while Foregenix participates in feedback on all PCI SSC issued standards and is an active member of the Global Executive Assessor Roundtable (GEAR), we do so under non-disclosure agreement, so we will not be commenting on the draft of PCI DSS version 4.0 that we provided feedback on. PCI DSS v3.2.1 has been around for a number of years and based on the standard lifecycle will be replaced shortly.
The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) requires organisations to determine the scope of their PCI DSS assessment accurately.
Prior to discussing data discovery, it is important to define PCI DSS assessment scoping. The official definition by the PCI SSC for scoping is:
'Process of identifying all system components, people, and processes to be included in a PCI DSS assessment'.
eCommerce environments are under constant threat from attackers; if your website touches cardholder data at any point, you’re a target. It doesn’t matter if you’re a big multinational conglomerate, or a tiny independent merchant; if you’re deploying poor security measures, they probably have you in their sights.
File integrity monitoring (FIM) systems are a critical part of your website's immune system. If you want to find and destroy malicious code, you’ll need to know where it is and where it’s come from. FIM systems will log changes made to your website, where they’ve come from and when they were made. Utilising a FIM log in your security strategy will help provide you with up to date knowledge of the inner workings of your website.
But why is file integrity monitoring important?
Foregenix's cybersecurity experts have been deeply involved in supporting the PCI Council during the development of the new PCI Software Security Framework (SSF), and today we are proud to announce we are fully enabled to help your organisation align and achieve compliance with this new program.
Foregenix is proud to announce assessment, consulting and advisory services for the brand new Federal CMMC Program (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) for 2020.
