Analyze log data to improve PCI compliance

With SolarWinds^® Security Event Manager (SEM), you can leverage log data and use built-in PCI DSS rules and reports to uncover policy violations. This allows IT teams to better identify attacks and highlight threats with real-time log analysis and powerful cross-device and cross-event correlation spanning your entire IT infrastructure. Additionally, you can facilitate audit trails for all PCI-related events—from collection to storage—to reconstruct specific system and user events. When suspicious activity surfaces, you can restrict access to cardholder data to help ensure users access only authorized data for legitimate business purposes.

Generate reports on command with PCI compliance tools

SolarWinds Security Event Manager can act as a PCI compliance tool by helping IT teams and their businesses adhere to PCI policies and procedures through increased reporting capabilities. SEM empowers users to generate compliance reports already mapped to specific requirements of many common compliance standards, including PCI DSS. These reports can be scheduled in advance on a daily or weekly basis or can be generated when desired. Additionally, these reports can be customized for internal teams at an organization, although industry format reports can also be automated.

Use file integrity monitoring to maintain compliance

Industry compliance standards like PCI DSS require organizations to both secure sensitive data and demonstrate how you’ve secured it. SolarWinds Security Event Manager is designed to use file integrity monitoring (FIM) to help meet these requirements.

Users can leverage built-in FIM templates to audit key files and folders and generate hundreds of custom or industry specific reports to demonstrate compliance to auditors. The scope of FIM isn’t limited to only the content contained in files and folders themselves, but also the integrity of system directories, registry keys, and values on the operating system.

Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance refers to the technical and operational standards organizations must follow to ensure credit card data provided by cardholders is protected. The PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) was drafted to address the proliferation of data breach threats among payment cards.

PCI compliance is enforced by the PCI Security Standards Council. Any business storing, processing, or transmitting credit card data electronically is required to follow these compliance guidelines, regardless of their company size or transaction volume. In the event of a data breach, lack of PCI compliance could result in large fines from the PCI Security Standards Council. PCI compliance scan tools are crucial for ensuring an organization doesn’t find itself in violation.

PCI compliance software is a helpful tool for any organization handling credit card data or other types of payment card data. Most importantly, it can help IT teams maintain compliance with PCI DSS which, in turn, helps organizations avoid the costly penalties and fines associated with failed compliance.
PCI compliance software can help IT teams address a slew of PCI DSS requirements, including:
Protecting systems against botnets, spear phishing attacks, and ransomware
Developing and maintaining secure systems and applications
Tracking and monitoring access to network resources and cardholder data
Running quarterly PCI vulnerability scans
Developing a reliable incident response plan
PCI compliance software addresses these requirements by combining essential security technologies—like asset discovery, vulnerability assessment, log management, and file integrity monitoring—into a single solution. PCI compliance software should provide predefined compliance reports to help your organization stay in line with the continuous security monitoring requirements set forth by PCI auditors.
These security components can help keep your organization in compliance with PCI DSS requirements. There’s also an inherent value in maintaining compliance: studies show PCI compliant businesses are more successful in withstanding a breach, meaning PCI requirements can be viewed by organizations as a standard of best practice for data security, specifically as it relates to payment processing.
With SEM, IT teams can generate custom compliance reports with specific data tailored to targeted audiences and purposes: GLBA, NERC CIP, or HIPAA. IT teams can also create custom reports using its intuitive reporting console, schedule these reports to generate on a daily or weekly basis, or run one whenever needed. Additionally, these reports can be exported to various standard formats depending on the recipient of the report.
SEM reports can be organized into specific categories depending on your organization’s needs:
Standard reports can be generated to capture specific event data occurring during a particular period
Industry reports support the compliance and auditing needs of certain industries
Custom reports display reports you created to meet a specific need
Favorite reports display the standard, industry, and custom reports you use most often with the ability to add and remove reports to this category as needed
SEM is built with robust software for SOX IT compliance, so you can quickly discover SOX violations with built-in reports capable of being customized to meet business requirements. SEM is also designed to provide the necessary electronic audit trail required by SOX. With advanced search functionality, SEM can enable you to perform forensic analysis on events and achieve more effective log monitoring. In fact, there are over 700 built-in rules, many of which are specific to IT SOX compliance.
