This article gives you a step-by-step overview of using the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) accelerator that is included with the standard IBM Guardium data security and protection solution. The PCI DSS is a set of technical and operational requirements designed to protect cardholder data and applies to all organizations who store, process, use, or transmit cardholder data. Failure to comply can mean loss of privileges, stiff fines, and, in the case of a data breach, severe loss of consumer confidence in your brand or services. The IBM Guardium accelerator helps guide you through the process of complying with parts of the standard using predefined policies, reports, group definitions, and more.
