Decrease the Complexity and Cost of PCI Compliance by Reducing the Scope of Audits.

PCI Audit Reduction

According to recent research, an annual PCI compliance audit can cost $500,000 or more and the cost of a breach has climbed to $214 per record, with an average total cost of $7.2M per breach.

Certes Networks not only helps organizations reduce the risk of data loss, but can also help to significantly reduce the time and cost of PCI compliance and audits by limiting the scope of what the auditors are required to examine.

Our flexible, easy to mange solutions decrease the complexity and cost of PCI DSS audits while increasing data security, without impacting performance or requiring changes to the underlying network infrastructure.

Using group encryption solutions powered by Certes TrustNet Manager it’s easy to achieve PCI compliance without sacrificing network performance. Through a web-based management platform that simplifies security management while preserving network performance and functionality, you can cryptographically segment your PCI regulated data from the rest of your network and significantly reduce the scope and cost of PCI compliance and future audits. This can greatly reduce the scope of the Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) while avoiding the changes to network infrastructure and legacy applications that are otherwise necessary when initiating a PCI compliance program.

In addition, even if an encrypted network is breached, companies are free from the notification requirements of PCI since all data is protected with a powerful combination of encryption and authentication.

Reduce risk while saving time and money and send the auditors home early this year.

PCI Compliance Use Case

Problem:
A major retailer has hundreds of locations and thousands of devices on the network. Because they accept credit cards, they are subject the PCI DSS data security regulation.

Solution:
Certes Networks' low latency network encryptors are deployed throughout the network to cryptographically separate their network into systems that transport, store or process card data, from those that don’t. Secure LAN extension is used to backhaul traffic from the retail branches to the data center so that security infrastructure can be centralized, while allowing efficient branch-to-branch communication with group encryption that avoids point-to-point tunnels.

Benefits:

• The scope of the PCI audits is greatly reduced, saving time and money
• Security infrastructure is consolidated, saving money and simplifying policies and management
• Audit and logging requirements are fulfilled
• Compliance with regulations achieved without having to change existing infrastructure
• No change or action required from end users
