Data Discovery and PCI DSS
- 1. Data Discovery and PCI DSS By Kishor Vaswani, CEO - ControlCase
- 2. Agenda • About Data Discovery • PCI DSS Requirements and need for Data Discovery in the context of PCI DSS • Challenges in the Data Discovery space • Q&A 1
- 4. Current Technology Environment • Servers – Windows, Unix etc. • Databases – SQL Server, Oracle etc. • Email • File systems 2
- 5. What is Data Discovery • Ability to identify and pinpoint sensitive data across › File Shares › Servers › Databases › Email › Log files › Etc. 3
- 6. Why is it important • GRC focuses on confidentiality, integrity and availability • Confidentiality is always focused on “Data” • Data that is sensitive must be protected, however the first step of that is to know where the data resides • Hence, it is important to identify where sensitive data resides 4
- 7. PCI DSS Requirements and Data Discovery
- 8. What is PCI DSS? Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard: • Guidelines for securely processing, storing, or transmitting payment card account data • Established by leading payment card issuers • Maintained by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) 5
- 9. PCI DSS Requirements Control Objectives Requirements Build and maintain a secure network 1. Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data 2. Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters Protect cardholder data 3. Protect stored cardholder data 4. Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks Maintain a vulnerability management program 5. Use and regularly update anti-virus software on all systems commonly affected by malware 6. Develop and maintain secure systems and applications Implement strong access control measures 7. Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know 8. Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access 9. Restrict physical access to cardholder data Regularly monitor and test networks 10. Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data 11. Regularly test security systems and processes Maintain an information security policy 12. Maintain a policy that addresses information security 6
- 10. Protect Stored Cardholder Data You must ensure stored data is encrypted and protected. 7
- 11. PCI Council Advisory… • Importance of Updating Scope for PCI DSS Assessments There have been a number of high profile data compromises in the press recently. These reports serve as a daily reminder of the damage caused by compromises and of the need to keep business environments secure. Businesses evolve and change over time, and the scope of an entity's cardholder data environment must be reviewed and verified each time a PCI DSS assessment is undertaken. As has always been the case, many compromises are the result of businesses having data they weren't aware of. Please remember that scoping an assessment includes verifying that no cardholder data exists outside of the defined cardholder data environment. By ensuring the scope of an assessment is appropriate, the risk of data compromise is greatly reduced - a benefit to everyone involved. 8
- 12. Challenges in Data Discovery
- 13. Challenges • Deployment and agents › Can get expensive › Technologically complicated › Long deployment cycles › Databases are a challenge • False Positives › Luhn’s formula narrows down but is not full proof › Many schemes use Luhn’s formula to generate numbers › Separators and delimiters change 9
- 14. Challenges • Performance within production environments › Database load › Large number of records in databases › Active directory scanning › Emails storing cardholder data • Tokenization › Differentiation between tokens and real card numbers • Exclusions › Directories › Files › Extension types › Tables/Columns 10
