Order and Download PCI DSS Information Security Policy for Requirement 1
PCI DSS information security policy and procedure documents are an essential component for meeting compliance for the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards initiatives. Please keep in mind that there are 12 areas of PCI compliance, with most, if not all of them, requiring PCI DSS information security policy documents.
Requirement 1, "Install and Maintain a Firewall Configuration to Protect Cardholder Data" is the first of 12 requirements in the PCI DSS framework. The following areas within Requirement 1 are examples for PCI DSS information security policy and procedures and other essential documentation to be in place for merchants and service providers:
- Verify that there is a formal process for testing and approval of all network connections and changes to firewall and router configurations.
- Verify that a current network diagram exists and that it documents all connections to cardholder data, including any wireless networks.
- Verify that firewall and router configuration standards include a description of groups, roles, and responsibilities for logical management of network components.
Upon looking at these requirements, it becomes evident that you will need to develop documented PCI DSS information security policy for testing and approving network connections. Your organization will also need to have a current network diagram that is detailed, current, and an accurate description of all system components within the cardholder data environment. Additionally, firewall and router configurations must include a "description" of a number of items, which means developing documented PCI DSS information security policy material for this requirement also.
