InfusionPoints: PCI Compliance for Secure Payment Card Processing

InfusionPoints applies integrated methodologies for infusing security and privacy into business solutions. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is the key to having safe, secure payment solutions. By combining our frameworks with the critical thinking and deep analytics needed to solve our clients’ most pressing challenges, PCI Compliance can be accomplished. Our consultants specialize in developing IT architectures and infrastructures that protect sensitive information without losing sight of cost and efficiency. InfusionPoints provides the entire range of technical and management skills to support any scale system design, integration activities, security systems, electronic key management systems, Identity and Access Management and secure Internet-based solutions designed to support all implementations to meet your PCI needs.

Helping to Deploy PCI Compliant Solutions for Processing Payments Securely

The foundation for a safe and secure payment processing solution is infusing the processes into a secure environment. InfusionPoints uses our security and privacy frameworks and subject matter expertise to deploy an effective, secure, and PCI Compliant environment for our customers’ payment processing needs. Our experienced team engages with the customers’ PCI team and the stakeholder community to identify key design principles, business and security objectives, and critical requirements to develop a prioritized roadmap, and comprehensive information security architecture that follows the PCI DSS guidelines.

Leveraging our expertise, InfusionPoints roadmaps and architectures ensures the following aspects are met:

  • Implement and enforce a company Information Security Policy.
  • Regularly monitoring and testing of networks/systems that have payment card data.
  • Deploy firewall that protects cardholder data stored within company systems.
  • Every employee with computer access should be assigned a unique ID and use a robust password (e.g., mix of letters, numbers, and symbols), which is changed frequently (every 90 days).
  • Restrict physical access to company systems and records with cardholder data to only those employees with a business need-to-know.
  • Encrypt cardholder data if transmitted over wireless or open, public networks.
  • Use and regularly update anti-virus software.
  • Have secure company systems and applications (e.g., good and frequent processes to update all computers with necessary patches, process for identifying system/application vulnerabilities, etc.).
  • Ensure any e-commerce payment solutions are tested to prevent programming vulnerabilities like SQL injection.
  • Use a Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) compliant payment application listed on the PCI Security Standards Council website.
  • If you outsource the handling of cardholder data to a third party service provider, verify that they have validated PCI DSS compliance and are listed on Visa’s website.
  • Ensure that magnetic stripe cardholder data or the CVV2 code (the three digit value on the back of Visa cards)are not stored after authorization.
  • Vendor-supplied or default system passwords or common/weak passwords are not used.
  • Cardholder data in any systems in clear text is not stored
  • Remote access applications are not left in "always on" mode.

  • An Adventure in Cloud Security

    Feb

    I recently registered for a website hosted by a government agency that handles some of the most sensitive personal information available within U.S. Government. While the site is only a simple scheduling system, imagine my dismay when I received an email confirming my registration that included both my username in password in the email body. That email demonstrates that, despite all of the reported attention to security over the past several years, especially within the Federal Government, we are failing to build an effective information security culture.

  • Google and Business Data Privacy

    Jan

    As just about everyone who reads the news knows, Google announced on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 that it would merge the data it collects from individual users across all of its properties starting March 1, 2012. Basically, Google will be able to better anticipate how to direct individual user activities to best serve their needs, building a grand database of all user activity and behaviors. The question that few are asking, though, is what the impact will be on businesses. That's where things get really complicated.

  • More evidence that Multi-Factor authentication is no Panacea...

    Jan

    I've always been a strong proponent of the judicious use of strong authentication. Due to the government's push to introduce smart cards (known as HSPD-12), and industry standards like PCI, multi-factor authentication is becoming increasingly common for certain system access scenarios across a wide range of organizations.
