- 12. What does thePCI Council do? • Own and manage PCI DSS, including maintenance, revisions, interpretation and distribution • Define common audit requirements to validate compliance • Manage certification process for security assessors and network scanning vendors • Establish minimum qualification requirements • Maintain and publish a list of certified assessors and vendors
- 13.
- 14. What are theStandards? • PCI DSS: PCI Data Security Standard – Overall standard, applies to all • PA DSS: Payment Application Data Security Standard – Supporting standard for payment applications • PTS (was PED): PIN Transaction Security Standard – Supporting standard for PIN entry devices – Supporting standard for unattended payment terminals (UPT)
- 15. PCI DSS ThePayment Card Industry Data Security Standard 6 Objectives (Goals) 12 Sections (Requirements) 194 Controls
- 16.
- 17.
- 18. PA DSS • “PA-DSSis the Council-managed program formerly under the supervision of the Visa Inc. program known as the Payment Application Best Practices (PABP). • The goal of PA-DSS is to help software vendors and others develop secure payment applications that do not store prohibited data, such as full magnetic stripe, CVV2 or PIN data, and ensure their payment applications support compliance with the PCI DSS.” – Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council
- 19. PIN Transaction Security •“The PCI PED security alignment initiative is aimed at ensuring that the cardholder’s PIN, and any sensitive information such as resident keys, are protected consistently at a PIN acceptance device. • The objective of the requirements is the provision of a single, consistent, and stringent standard for all PIN acceptance devices worldwide.” – Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council
- 20. Who must comply? •With PCI DSS – Any organization the processes, stores or transmits credit card information. • With PA DSS – Payment application developers – Merchants will be required to use only compliant applications by July 2010. • With PTS – Manufactures of PIN entry devices – Merchants will be required to use only compliant hardware by July 2010. – MasterCard PTS to incorporate into PCI SSC April 30, 2010
- 21. PCI Compliance • Thisincludes: • Organizations who only use paper based processing • Organizations who outsource the credit card processing • Organizations that process credit cards in house
- 22. Is PCI law? The PCI DSS was developed by the payment card brands Compliancy is compulsory if a merchant wishes to continue processing payment card transactions However, some States have enacted legislation that has made PCI compliance the law
- 23. What if weare a small organization? • “All merchants, whether small or large, need to be PCI compliant. • The payment brands have collectively adopted PCI DSS as the requirement for organizations that process, store or transmit payment cardholder data.” – PCI SSC
- 24. Cost? • What happenswhen there is a data breach? – Depends if the merchant can reach safe harbor.
- 25. What’s Safe Harbor? IncidentEvaluation Safe Harbor $$$$$$ If compromised take immediate action. “Merchants and service providers that have experienced a suspected or confirmed security breach must take immediate action to help prevent additional damage and adhere to Visa CISP requirements.”
- 26. What’s Safe Harbor? IncidentEvaluation Safe Harbor $$$$$$ If there is a data breach, the card brands will perform a forensic audit to determine if the organization was PCI DSS compliant at the time of the data breach.
- 27. What’s Safe Harbor? IncidentEvaluation Safe Harbor $$$$$$ If the organization is found to be out of compliance at the time of the breach they may be liable for the full cost of the breach including the cost of the forensics, losses of cardholders, losses to the banks, losses to the card brand and in some states fines will be assessed.
- 28. What’s Safe Harbor? IncidentEvaluation Safe Harbor $$$$$$ In addition, the organization will be moved to the highest merchant level and will be required to meet the most stringent evidence requirements and the credit card processing fees will increase.
- 29. What’s Safe Harbor? IncidentEvaluation Safe Harbor $$$$$$ To obtain safe harbor status a merchant must maintain full compliance at all times, including at the time of the breach as demonstrated during a forensic investigation.
- 30. Safe Harbor Notes: •For a merchant to be considered compliant, any Service Providers that store, process or transmit credit card account data on behalf of the merchant must also be compliant. • The submission of compliance validation documentation alone does not provide the merchant with safe harbor status.
- 31. Loss or theftof account information • Members, service providers or merchants must immediately report the suspected or confirmed loss or theft of any material or records that contain Visa cardholder data. • If a member knows or suspects a security breach with a merchant or service provider, the member must take immediate action to investigate the incident and limit the exposure of cardholder data. • If a Visa member fails to immediately notify Visa Inc. Fraud Control of the suspected or confirmed loss or theft of any Visa transaction information, the member will be subject to a penalty of $100,000 per incident. • Members are subject to fines, up to $500,000 per incident, for any merchant or service provider that is compromised and not compliant at the time of the incident. – Visa CISP program
- 32. Fines Merchants may besubject to fines by the card associations if deemed non- compliant. For your convenience fine schedules for Visa and MasterCard are outlined below. http://www.firstnationalmerchants.com/ms/html/en/pci_compliance/pci_data_secur_stand.html
- 34. Action Items • Documenthow your organization stores, processes or transmits credit card information • Determine your merchant level • Determine your validation requirements – Contact your merchant banks and acquirers • Determine your SAQ validation type • Find an ASV for compliance network vulnerability scans – Perform at least quarterly scans • Annually fill out your SAQ – turn in and/or keep on file
- 35. 10 Steps toDocument Cardholder Environment 1. Determine Merchant Level (number of transactions) 2. List all Merchant Banks and Acquirers 3. List all outsourced processors, ASPs and third party processors 4. Document all Payment Applications 5. Document all PEDs used (Point of Interaction) 6. List all physical locations that CHD is processed, stored or transmitted 7. List all electronic storage of CHD 8. Document electronic transmission 9. Document policies that address PCI requirements 10. Implement applicable PCI DSS controls
- 36. Step 1: DetermineMerchant Level • List the number of all credit card transactions for all Merchant Banks and Acquirers • List by card brand as well • Determine your merchant level based on total annual credit card transactions • Number is based on the aggregate number of transactions for a DBA Note: Merchant levels are defined by the Card Brands and determined by the Acquirer based on transaction volume.
- 37. Step 2: DocumentAcquirers • List all Acquirers, Merchant Banks and/or Acquiring Banks • Included card brands when they act as acquirer, e.g. Amex, Discover, JCB • Would never be Visa or MasterCard • They determine your merchant level and reporting requirements
- 38. Step 2: DocumentAcquirers • Contact Information – Address – Phone Number • Incident Response Team • Website – Monitor for changes in requirements • Any notes or document conversations you have with them
- 39. Step 3: DetermineService Providers • A Service Provider is an business or entity that is directly involved in the processing, storage, transmission, and switching of transaction data and/or card holder data (CHD) • Any service provider that has control or could have a security impact on CHD
- 40. Example of ServiceProviders • Transaction Processors • Customer Service • Call Centers • Payment Gateways • Credit Reporting • External Sales • Remittance Processing • Card Embossing Companies • Information security providers • Offsite Data Storage Providers
- 41. Manage Service Providers •Maintain a list of service providers • Maintain agreements that hold service providers responsible for security of CHD – Include reporting and breach notification • Have a process to validate new service providers before they become service providers • Have a program to monitor service provider compliance at least annually
- 42. Step 4: Document PaymentApplications • List all payment applications • Document the business use of the applications • Determine if the application is compliant • Determine if the application stores CHD • Check PCI website for list of approved applications
- 43. Action Items • Contactthe vendor, make sure payment applications are PA DSS complaint or will be. • Contact your PIN device supplier, make sure you have compliant PIN Entry Devices. https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/ped/pedapprovallist.ht ml https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/vpa/
- 44. Payment Applications • Inhouse applications – SDLC controls – Code reviews – Application firewalls – OWASP
- 45. Step 5: DocumentPED • List all Points of Interaction (POI) – List all PIN Entry Devices (PED) – List all Point of Interaction devices – List all Unattended Payment Terminals (UPT) – List all Point of Sale (POS) devices • Document compliance for those devices currently required to be PCI compliant
- 47. PED • PIN EntryDevice – Scope of the standard increasing • PIN Transaction Security (PTS) – Will include • UPT (Unattended Payment Terminals) • POI (Point of Interaction) • POS (Point of Sale Devices) – Standard addresses the vendors who make devices – Merchants must use approved devices
- 48. Step 6: PhysicalCHD • List all physical locations that PAN is processed, stored or transmitted – Paper, – Receipts, – Imprints, – Carbon Copies – Locations of backup media • Document Retention Period – Justify with business need • Document Destruction Policy
- 49. Step 7: ElectronicData Storage • List all electronic storage of CHD • Document business reason for storing and retention period • Requirements in PCI DSS – Encryption – Access Controls and Audit logs – Never permitted to store full track data
- 50. Cardholder Data Data ElementStorage Permitted Protection Required PCI DSS 3.4 Cardholder Data Primary Account Number (PAN) Yes Yes Yes Cardholder Name Yes Yes No Service Code Yes Yes No Expiration Date Yes Yes No Sensitive Authentication Data Full Magnetic Stripe Data No N/A N/A CVC2 / CVV2 / CID / CAV2 No N/A N/A PIN / PIN Block No N/A N/A
- 51. Places to lookfor CHD • Electronic Image Files • SANS • Fax Servers • Scan Archive • Pinter Spool • Laser Fiche • Log Files • Audio Recording: customer service call recordings • Voicemail • Email Server/Archive • Backup Media • Copier Scanner Cache • Data bases Perform a search for CHD every 6 months
- 52. Unknown Storage • FaxMachine and Copy Machines may store CHD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC38D5am7go
- 53. Step 8: DocumentData Transmission • Not only do you need to know where you data is stored but you also need to know where it travels • Create a Data Flow diagram – Diagram with CHD flow superimposed over network diagram • Evaluate flow every 6 months or more often if there has been a change • Helps to determine the PCI scope and aids in determining network segmentation
- 54. Document Data Flow •With a network diagram document the flow of credit card information (transmission) • Locate any places the information might be stored along the data path (storage)
- 55. Step 9: CreateNeeded Policies • What policies do you currently have that address PCI related issues • Create needed policies • See section 12 of the PCI DSS • You will need to create additional subordinate policies, procedures or administrative directives for specific PCI control requirements • Every PCI DSS control should be documented in some policy, procedure, administrative directive, SOP or schedule
- 56. Step 10: DocumentPCI DSS
- 57. PCI DSS ThePayment Card Industry Data Security Standard 6 Objectives (Goals) 12 Sections (Requirements) 194 Controls
- 58.
- 59. PII Policy • Ifyou already have a policy for handling confidential information or personally identifiable information add credit card information to confidential information or PII.
- 60. PCI DSS • Startimplementing the data security standard starting with policies • Start with high level polices – “The City shall not store PAN (Credit Card Numbers) electronically or physically. Employees shall be trained on PCI standard annually. Background checks will be performed on all staff with access to credit card information.”
- 61. PCI DSS • Usethe prioritized approach to implement the most important controls first.
- 62. Document Compliance • Determineif all PEDs are PCI compliant • Determine if all payment applications are PCI compliant • Determine if all 3rd party processors and 3rd parties are PCI compliant • Obtain documentation from each • Annually renew documentation from 3rd parties • Annually check payment application and PED list
- 64. Merchant Levels • Eachmerchant is placed in levels based upon the number of transactions they process. • These levels determine what evidence of compliance must be submitted. (Validation Requirements) • Merchants with a low number of transactions can complete self-assessment questionnaire. • Merchants in the middle submit questionnaires and have external scans. • At the highest level merchants must have a full independent audit and external scan.
- 65. Validation Requirements • ExternalScans by an ASV, at least quarterly • Annually fill out SAQ – Even if bank has not requested one • If level 1 or 2 you will need an audit from a QSA • New Internal Security Assessor (ISA) program
- 66. Merchant Levels Merchant levelsare determined by the annual number of transactions not the dollar amount of the transactions. Merchant Level E-commerce transactions All other transactions Level 1 Over 6 million annually Over 6 million annually Level 2 1 to 6 million annually 1 to 6 million annually Level 3 20,000 to 1 million annually N/A Level 4 Up to 20,000 annually Up to 1 million annually
- 67. Merchant Levels: American Express Merchantlevels are determined by the annual number of transactions not the dollar amount of the transactions. Merchant Level Definition Level 1 2.5 million American Express Card transactions or more per year; or any Merchant that has had a data incident; or any Merchant that American Express otherwise deems a Level 1 Level 2 50,000 to 2.5 million American Express Card transactions per year Level 3 Less than 50,000 American Express Card transactions per year
- 68. Validation Requirements • Themerchant level of the entities determines what the organization must do to validate their compliance with PCI DSS. • Validation is required for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 merchants, and may be required for Level 4 merchants in the near future. • Validation requirements are set by Acquirers and Card Brands not PCI SSC
- 69. Validation Requirements Merchant LevelQSAAudit Quarterly Network Scans Self-Assessment Questionnaire Level 1 Yes Yes - Level 2 * Yes Yes Level 3 - Yes Yes Level 4 - Yes Yes Separate and distinct from the mandate to comply with the PCI DSS is the validation of compliance whereby entities verify and demonstrate their compliance status. * Starting 12-31-2010 MasterCard will require Annual QSA Audits for Level 2 Merchants
- 70. Validation Requirements: American Express MerchantLevel QSAAudit Quarterly Network Scans Self-Assessment Questionnaire Level 1 Yes Yes - Level 2 - Yes Yes Level 3 - Yes * * Level 3 Merchants need not submit Validation Documentation, but still must comply with all other provisions of the DSOP.
- 71. Who do youreport to? • Acquirers (Merchant Banks) are responsible for verifying compliance • Some Acquirers (Merchant banks) are already requiring merchants at level 4 to comply – “Merchants that store payment account data should contact the acquiring financial institutions with whom they have merchant agreements to determine whether they must validate compliance and the specific requirements for compliance validation.” - PCI SSC
- 72. Network Vulnerability Scans •The PCI DSS requires that all merchants with externally-facing IP addresses perform external network scanning to achieve compliance. • Acquirers (Merchant Banks) require the quarterly submission of scan reports • Scans must be performed by a PCI Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV)
- 73. Network Vulnerability Scans •These scans are automated, non- intrusive web scans. • Internal Scans are also required by PCI DSS, however no submission is required for internal scans. • See PCI SSC website for a list of Approved Scanning Vendors (ASV)
- 74. Self Assessment Questionnaire •The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCS SSC) revised the original version of the Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) in February 2008 in order to address the various scenarios that can exist at a merchant’s point of sale environment. • As most Acquirer’s (Merchant Bank) require Self Assessment Questionnaires on merchant levels 2, 3 and 4, it is important to know which version of the SAQ your business may need to complete. • There are five SAQ validation categories.
- 75. SAQ’s SAQ Validation Type Description SAQ: V1.2 1 Card-not-present(e-commerce or mail/telephone- order) merchants, all cardholder data functions outsourced. This would never apply to face-to-face merchants. A 2 Imprint-only merchants with no electronic cardholder data storage B 3 Stand-alone terminal merchants, no electronic cardholder data storage B 4 Merchants with POS systems connected to the Internet, no electronic cardholder data storage C 5 All other merchants (not included in Types 1-4 above) and all service providers defined by a payment brand as eligible to complete an SAQ. D
- 76. QSA Audit • Forlevel 1 merchants an independent audit by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) is required – Starting 12-31-2010 MasterCard will require Annual QSA Audits for Level 2 Merchants • The QSA will issue a Report on Compliance (ROC) for the merchant
- 78. Self Assessment Questionnaire Merchants have different levels of SAQ, depending upon the risk of the processing environment. Merchants who outsource processing or have paper only processing have less questions to answer. Merchants who process in house on custom application have to answer all the questions.
- 79.
- 80. SAQ FAQ • Domerchants have to be compliant only with the questions on the SAQ? – No merchants must comply with all of the PCI DSS. – The questions on the SAQ only reflect the controls with the highest risk based upon the merchants processing environment. – Controls can be N/A depending upon the merchants environment.
- 81. SAQ FAQ • Whatif my Merchant Bank has not required our organization to turn in our SAQ? – Contact your Merchant Banks and Acquirers – Complete the SAQ annually – Maintain a copy on file
- 82. SAQ FAQ • Howcan my organization find assistance in completing the SAQ? – The Council encourages organizations to seek professional guidance in achieving compliance and completing the Self- Assessment Questionnaire. – You are free to use any security professional of your choosing – PCI SSC recommends QSA or ISA
- 83. SAQ FAQ • Whatis an Attestation of Compliance? – The Attestation is your certification that you have performed the appropriate Self- Assessment and attest to your organization’s compliance status with the PCI DSS.
- 84. SAQ A Merchant levelis determined by total transactions of a business (DBA) not by the number of transactions per acquirer. That is why that have these questions.
- 85. SAQ A Do youknow if your outsourced 3rd party provider is compliant? When you sign the Attestation of Compliance you sign off that you confirmed third-parties are PCI DSS compliant.
- 86. SAQ A When youselect yes for PCI DSS Requirement 12 you are effectively attesting that you are compliant with all controls in section 12
- 87. All of PCIDSS They added the following check box, just in case you want to plead that you did not know checking yes for compliance to section 12 meant that you complied with all controls in section 12.
- 88. Items under section12 • For Example – 12.5.1 Establish, document, and distribute security policies and procedures – 12.6.1 Educate employees upon hire and at least annually (for example, by letters, posters, memos, meetings, and promotions) – 12.8.1 Verify that the contract contains provisions requiring adherence to the PCI DSS requirements – 12.3.6 Acceptable network locations for the technologies
- 90. Continuous Process Assess ReportRemediate “PCI DSScompliance is much more than a “project” with a beginning and end – It’s an ongoing process of assessment, remediation and reporting” - PCI SSC
- 91. Continuous Process • Manyof the PCI requirements have specific time interval requirements • Create a schedule for time based requirements • Some organizations already have ‘maintenance calendars’ for these type of actions
- 93. Common Findings • Clientsthink they are compliant – Because they do quarterly networks scans – Because they filled out the SAQ – Because they have too few transactions • Reality – Validation is not compliance – Compliance is an ongoing process – PCI DSS is required for all merchants, regardless of the number of transactions
- 94. Common Findings • Paymentcard information on paper • No network segmentation • Logging Access • Shared Passwords • Verifying compliance of outsourced processing • No one is assigned responsibility • Not aware of PAN storage in application
- 95. PCI Pitfalls • PCIwill not make an organization’s network or data secure • PCI DSS focuses on one type of data: payment card transactions • The organization runs the risk of focusing on one class of data to the detriment of everything else
- 97. Cashiers • Limit Access •Background Checks • Log access to CHD • Fraud – Look for tampering of PIN Entry Devices or Point of Interaction devices
- 98. Merchants Should • Beaware of the risks relating to skimming. • Be aware of the vulnerabilities inherent the use of point-of-sale terminals and terminal infrastructure. • Be aware of the vulnerabilities associated with staff that has access to consumer payment devices. • Prevent or deter criminal attacks against point-of-sale terminals and terminal infrastructure. • Identify any compromised terminals as soon as possible and notify the appropriate agencies to respond and minimize the impact of a successful attack.
- 99. Skimming • Internal employeeswith criminal intent • Skimming results from the capture of payment data within the payment infrastructure at the merchant location • Focus on compromised POS terminals and their respective infrastructures • Criminals will insert electronic equipment, by various means, into the terminal or the terminal infrastructure, in order to capture consumer account data
- 100. Criminal Methods • Criminalswill also target large multi-lane retailers where, during less busy periods, not all of the lanes are used and terminals are effectively left unattended. • Criminals will steal terminals, compromise them, and then return them to either the same store or to another store in the same chain.

- 107.
- 108.
- 109.
- 110.
- 111.
- 112. CCTV • Use properlighting for the cameras • Should cover POS but not PIN if entered • Store 90 days of video • Facility coverage (exit / entrance) • Problem with camera – review the terminal • Time Stamps • Note Blackouts, Camera Incidents
- 113. Physical Security ofTerminals • Surrounding terminals • Note the entire cable path from the terminal to the point where it leaves your merchant location • Secure terminal cabling in public areas • Consider cable locks
- 114. Employees • Employers oftenfeel employees are trustworthy • Trustworthiness needs to be validated • Not all have criminal background when hired • Employees may develop criminal intent over time
- 115. Criminal Activity • Staffreporting criminal activity or if they are approached by criminals • Whistle blower provision • Train your staff to be aware of the types of fraud attacks criminals may attempt and the risk to them
- 116. Background Check • Backgroundchecks could and should include – Validation of employee data as supplied in the hiring process – A criminal check – A financial/credit check – An education check – Previous employment history should also be in scope when applicable
- 117. Staff Should Know •How to protect the terminal environment by being aware of what to look out for • The procedure for escalating concerns • Who to contact if they have concerns • How to contact senior management • How management or the employee should contact local law enforcement if someone threatens or attempts to bribe them to compromise terminals or payment data
- 118.
Editor's Notes
- #17 The standard has approximately 194 controls in 12 sections. The 12 sections are group into 6 objectives. The 6 objectives are; build and maintain a secure network, protect cardholder data, maintain a vulnerability management program, implement strong access control measures, regularly monitor and test networks, maintain an information security policy.
- #20 I make gas pumps with a PIN entry device, what do I need to do differently? With the introduction of UPTs into the PTS program this year Automated Fuel Dispensers (AFD’s) and similar devices such as kiosks may be subject to testing. AFDs and other unattended POS devices that are not directly used (e.g. do not contain a PIN pad for PIN entry) for PIN acceptance do not need to undergo testing against the UPT requirements How does the integration of the MasterCard PTS program into PCI SSC affect me? (POS manufacturer or Merchant) • The integration of the MasterCard PTS program will not be effective until April 30, 2010. Until that time, the program will continue as is under MasterCard. Additional details about the program’s integration into PCI SSC will be provided as the effective date becomes closer. • For Vendors with POS Terminals currently under evaluation, this evaluation will continue and the report will be submitted to MasterCard for review and approval as per usual. Any changes to these procedures from April 30, 2010 will be communicated in advance of that date • For Merchants wishing to purchase approved POS terminals please continue to use the PCI SSC list of approved devices for guidance.
