  29. Impact

  30. Can I assess myself? • Short answer:Maybe (but you probably don’t want to) • Long answer:You can assess yourself, provided: • You follow audit procedures • Your acquirer agrees • An approved officer (think President or CFO) signs on the “dotted line” (attesting to the veracity of the results) • You’re absolutely sure you’re going to do it right

  31. “Business as Usual” • Payment security as an everyday item • Discipline that is always maintained “Do we have the culture to protect our customer’s data every day and every hour?”

  32. “Business as Usual” • Monitor security controls for effectiveness • Ensure all failures are detected and responded to • Review changes in the environment • Organizational structure changes • Periodic reviews and communication to confirm controls continue to be in place • Review hardware and software technologies

  33. Compliance vs. Security Security Compliance

  34. “Clarity”

  35. “Shared Responsibility”

  36. “Shared Responsibility” Requirement 12: Maintain an Information Security Policy For Merchants: 12.8 Managing relationships with service providers 12.8.2 Written agreements with service providers 12.8.3 Established process for engaging service providers 12.8.4 Monitor service provider compliance 12.8.5 (NEW) Is information maintained about which PCI DSS requirements are maintained by each service provider and which are maintained by the entity? For Service Providers 12.9 (NEW) Do service providers acknowledge in writing to customers that they are responsible for the security of cardholder data the service provider possesses or otherwise stores, processes on behalf of the customer, or to the extent that they could impact the security of the customer’s cardholder data environment?

  37. Example Contract Language PCI DSS COMPLIANCE: ____ University requires that the contractor shall at all times maintain compliance with the most current Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). The contractor will be required to provide written confirmation of compliance. Contractor acknowledges responsibility for the security of cardholder data as defined within the PCI DSS.Contractor acknowledges and agrees that cardholder data may only be used for completing the contracted services as described in the full text of this document, or as required by the PCI DSS, or as required by applicable law.In the event of a breach or intrusion or otherwise unauthorized access to cardholder data stored at or for the contractor, contractor shall immediately notify _____ to allow the proper PCI DSS compliant breach notification process to commence. The contractor shall provide appropriate payment card companies, acquiring financial institutions and their respective designees access to the contractor’s facilities and all pertinent records to conduct a review of the contractor’s compliance with the PCI DSS requirements. In the event of a breach or intrusion the contractor acknowledges any/all costs related to breach or intrusion or unauthorized access to cardholder data entrusted to the contractor deemed to be the fault of the contractor shall be the liability of the contractor. Vendor agrees to assume responsibility for informing all such individuals in accordance with applicable law and to indemnify and hold harmless ______and its officers and employees from and against any claims, damages or other harm related to such breach. (USE:  Include in any solicitation / contract that may involve online credit card payments).  IMPORTANT:  Insert the following statement into the Scope of Work (potentially in the IT section dealing with credit cards and PCI compliance):“Provide documentation of your most current PCI system scan and the signature page from your Record of Compliance (ROC) or Attestation of Compliance (AOC).”

  38. Physical Protection of POS Terminals • 9.9 Are devices that capture payment card via direct physical interaction with the card protected against tampering and substitution? • Maintain a list • Periodic inspection • Train personnel

  39. MOBILE PAYMENTS? Card Readers: Smart Phone/Tablets • “Square” and others • “Category 3” device • None are certified compliant! Mobile Card Terminals • Few are certified compliant • Check with the PCI SSC

  40. What About Mobile Payments? Who Needs Mobile? • Fundraising – off campus events • Student Groups • Athletic Events What they will say… • “Other schools use it” • “PCI Council addresses Mobile” • None are certified compliant!

  41. What About Mobile Payments? No Category 3 Device is considered compliant

  42. Closing Thoughts • v3.0 is an important improvement, but doesn’t change what you should be doing to comply with PCI, nor how QSAs will conduct reviews • Promotes understanding that PCI is a shared responsibility • Aimed a making compliance a part of “Business as Usual” • More information about the intent of the requirements and how they should be applied • Helps colleges and universities adopt a framework of continuous security, and move closer to the true intent of the Standard
