PCI Configuration Audit

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) helps entities understand and implement standards for security policies, technologies and ongoing processes that protect their payment systems from breaches and theft of cardholder data. The standards have historically been revised on a 2-3 year cycle, but the PCI SSC is transitioning to a posture of revising the PCI DSS as required based on changes to the current threat landscape. The current standard revision is PCI DSS Version 4.x. Any organization that handles payment card information must comply with the PCI DSS and must demonstrate compliance annually. Tenable Security Center is able to help organizations monitor ongoing PCI DSS compliance.

The PCI Configuration Audit dashboard presents extensive data about the configuration status of the network based on the available data. The dashboard can be used to gain insight into all configuration results, or it can be modified to focus exclusively on the results related to the cardholder data environment (CDE). Organizations can configure repositories or asset lists in order to tailor the focus of the dashboard. When the dashboard is added from the Tenable Security Center Feed, the appropriate assets, IP addresses, or repositories can be specified. Assigning one of the options to the dashboard will update all filters in the widgets. Security teams can use this dashboard to identify and monitor configuration adjustments across the organization.

Widgets within this dashboard also focus on configuration data gathered from all available configuration scan results. The widgets are filtered for failed and manual configuration checks based on severity in order to identify checks specifically related to ongoing PCI security requirements. Failed configuration checks are identified as high severity, and checks requiring manual verification are identified as medium severity. Identifying and remediating failed configuration checks are especially important to ensuring ongoing adherence with PCI DSS. Configuration checks are tracked by time, severity, and host in order to provide a thorough perspective on the configuration status of the network.

Organizations can assess their level of adherence with PCI requirements focusing on configuration auditing. The widgets in this dashboard are focused on PCI requirements which cover: network security controls, secure configurations, malicious software, and authentication.

Tenable provides several solutions for organizations to better understand vulnerability management. Security leaders need to SEE everything, PREDICT what matters most and ACT to address cyber risk and effectively align cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives. Tenable Vulnerability Management (formerly Tenable.io) discovers and analyzes assets continuously to provide an accurate and unified view of an organization's security posture. The requirements for this report are: Tenable Vulnerability Management.
