pci-compliance

Assess PCI DSS readiness by evaluating your current payment system against tokenization, encryption, and access control requirements. This Skill identifies compliance gaps in data at rest, data in transit, and audit logging to begin remediation for continuous lifecycle compliance.

Tokenization prevents storing sensitive card details by replacing them with non-sensitive tokens. This data minimization technique ensures payment systems and processor integrations avoid retaining actual card information, significantly reducing data breach risks.

PCI compliance requires strong encryption for card data at rest and in transit. You must also implement strict access controls, audit logging, and network security measures to satisfy technical requirements for payment systems and processor integrations.

You can use this Skill to map compliance requirements for processor integrations. It assesses payment workflows and merchant environments against PCI DSS controls, ensuring continuous compliance through monitoring, access management, and policy documentation.

Tokenization reduces breach risk but does not replace full PCI DSS vulnerability management. You must still secure network architecture, enforce access controls, and maintain monitoring and audit logs to ensure continuous compliance across payment system lifecycles.
