PCI DSS, Built to Last
Any business that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data is subject to PCI DSS. We implement the technical controls, documentation, and ongoing monitoring that keep you compliant — and keep your customers' data safe.
PCI DSS — Build and Maintain a Secure Network
PCI DSS requires organizations that handle cardholder data to install and maintain a firewall configuration and avoid vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters.
How Neon Shield helps: We configure and monitor your network security controls, replace insecure defaults, and document your network segmentation to satisfy Requirements 1 and 2 of the PCI DSS standard.
PCI DSS — Protect Cardholder Data
All stored cardholder data must be protected using strong cryptography. Transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks must be encrypted.
How Neon Shield helps: We implement encryption at rest and in transit, help you minimize cardholder data storage (Requirements 3 & 4), and validate that your data flows are mapped and secured end-to-end.
PCI DSS — Maintain a Vulnerability Management Program
PCI DSS requires regular vulnerability scanning, patch management, and the use of anti-malware software across all systems that interact with cardholder data.
How Neon Shield helps: Our MDR and EDR platforms provide continuous vulnerability detection and automated patch management. We conduct quarterly internal and external scans to meet Requirements 5 and 6.
PCI DSS — Implement Strong Access Control Measures
Access to cardholder data must be restricted on a need-to-know basis. Unique IDs must be assigned to each person with computer access, and physical access to cardholder data must be restricted.
How Neon Shield helps: We design and implement role-based access controls, enforce multi-factor authentication, and manage privileged access in line with Requirements 7, 8, and 9 of the PCI DSS framework.
PCI DSS — Monitor, Test, and Maintain an Information Security Policy
PCI DSS requires logging and monitoring all access to network resources and cardholder data, regular testing of security systems and processes, and a policy that addresses information security for all personnel.
How Neon Shield helps: Our 24×7 SIEM platform ingests and correlates logs from all in-scope systems, providing the audit trail and alerting that Requirements 10–12 demand. We also draft and maintain your information security policy documentation.
