ControlCase Enhances Data Discovery Capability with Regular Expression Search and False Positive Management   

ControlCase has enhanced ControlCase Data Discovery (CDD) to include regular expression search of any type of data and false positive management. Users will now have the ability to define their own regular expressions to scan for, further delivering the benefit of lower compliance costs by reducing the organizational effort required to maintain PCI compliance.  With the addition of regular expression search, users now have access to a distributed and agentless centralized search platform which can be used to look for information that may be specific to an enterprise such as bank account numbers, expiration dates, social security numbers and phone numbers.

PCI Security Standards Council Publishes First Set of PCI Point-to-Point Encryption Solution Requirements   

The PCI Security Standards Council has announced the availability of the first set of validation requirements of its point-to-point encryption program. The PCI Point-to-Point Encryption Solution Requirements document provides requirements for vendors, assessors and merchants, that wish to build and implement hardware-based point-to-point encryption solutions that support PCI DSS compliance and offer scope reduction for merchants. Hardware-based P2PE solutions utilize secure cryptographic devices for both encryption and decryption including at the point of merchant acceptance for encryption and within Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) for decryption.

 

This new document defines requirements for applicable point-to-point encryption (P2PE) solutions, with the goal of reducing the scope of the PCI DSS assessment for merchants using such solutions. Merchants themselves will also find the document a useful resource for understanding more about P2PE and PCI DSS scope.
