PCI DSS requirements solution mapping The main reason for developing our PCI GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) tool is to provide a central repository and baseline for reporting PCI compliance across your estate to your Acquiring Bank, QSA or External Auditors, with a direct link to the evidence required by the PCI Data Security standards requirements (PCI DSS). We provide a complete system of record for PCI DSS that consolidates all of the output from the network layer security service provider and monitoring solutions that have been implemented. Our solution records their deliverables onto a platform that allows a single view into all of your PCI DSS requirements, which enables our clients to ensure PCI DSS Governance and Compliance against all identified Risks at any stage during the year. Merchants, who have multiple PCI locations and Assets, benefit the most from our PCI GRC solution as it is easier to maintain consistency of data for all of their compliance and reporting requirements. This in turn enables them to directly link the relevant Risks and Policies to the PCI DSS compliance framework as defined by the PCI Council.

NTP is running the most recent version Specific external hosts are designated from
which the time servers will accept NTP time updates (to prevent an attacker from changing the clock). Optionally, those updates can be encrypted with a symmetric key, and access control lists can be created that specify the IP addresses of client machines that will be provided with the NTP service (to prevent unauthorized use of internal time servers). 10.5 Verify the following via inquiry of the system administrator and review of file permissions: 10.5.1 Only individuals who have a jobrelated need can view audit trail files. 10.5.2 Current audit trail files are protected from unauthorized modifications via access control mechanisms, physical segregation, and/or network segregation. 10.5.3 Current audit trail files are promptly backed up to a centralized log server or media that is difficult to alter. 10.5.4 Offload or copy logs for wireless networks onto a centralized internal log server or media that is difficult to alter. 10.5.5 Verify the use of file integrity monitoring or change detection software for logs by observing system settings and monitored files, as well as results from monitoring activities. 10.6.a Obtain security policies and procedures and determine that they include procedures to review security logs at least daily,

Inspect output from the most recent four quarters of network, host, and application vulnerability scans to verify that periodic security testing of the devices within the cardholder environment occurs. Confirm the scan process includes rescans We have an integrated ASV module that allows organisations to link into your PCI estate, review your PCI scope and in collaboration determine the assets that fall into the PCI periodic testing scope as well as scheduling the testing and reporting dates for the whole year. Non-compliance or nondelivery are automatically alerted on the risk register. This framework allows you to identify an ASV provider, present your list of PCI asset that fall into requirement 11 scope, agree test scope and dates, generate reports and store them in relation to each asset. Where risks emerge out of the tests, these will be lodged directly onto the risk register against the relevant assets. Our modules: ASV register QSA register QSA/ASV Audits
