Chapter 19

Requirement 12

Information Security Policies and Practices for PCI Compliance

The foundations of an enduring security practice rest with the organization’s policies, procedures, and risk-management framework. Most of what we have discussed in the rest of the book is largely operational and technical security. However, there needs to be a binding frame that ensures that good security practices are consistent, repeatable, and measurable. This chapter focuses on Requirement 12 of the PCI-DSS. This requirement details the need for a binding security policy and operational security procedures. I will also explore an oft-forgotten but extremely important aspect of PCI compliance—risk assessment. We will understand how organizations should ...
