Free Download: PCI DSS: Reducing the cardholder data environment
When implementing the PCI DSS, it is important to define the areas of your organisation to which the Standard will apply. Reducing the cardholder data environment (CDE) can reduce the cost of implementation, but doing so can be a complex and challenging task.
This green paper will help organisations that are required to comply with the PCI DSS to reduce their CDE in order to minimise compliance costs and resources.
Discover:

-
How to create an accurate data flow diagram to map the movement of cardholder data
-
What to include when mapping the IT infrastructure and external connections
-
Means of reducing the scope, including tips on data storage, segmentation and more.
