According to the PCI DSS v3.2.1 Quick Reference Guide1, track equivalent data on the chip of a payment card is sensitive authentication data, which means it can be used to authenticate a cardholder or a transaction, but it should not be stored or transmitted by merchants after authorization if encrypted. This is one of the requirements for preventing unauthorized access to sensitive authentication data.

According to the PCI DSS v3.2.1 Quick Reference Guide1, any in-scope system except for those identified as not at risk from malware must have anti-malware solutions installed and configured according to best practices. This is one of the requirements for preventing malware infections that could compromise cardholder data.

According to requirement 1, network security controls are intended to control network traffic between two or more logical or physical network segments, which means they should prevent unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure of cardholder data or transactions over the network. This is one of the requirements for ensuring that network security controls are implemented and maintained in accordance with PCI DSS.

According to the PCI DSS v3.2.1 Quick Reference Guide1, system configuration and parameter files must be monitored by a change-detection mechanism (for example, a file-integrity monitoring tool). This is one of the requirements for ensuring that changes to system configuration and parameter files are detected and verified.

An LDAP server is a type of directory service that provides authentication and authorization data to the cardholder data environment (CDE)1. According to the PCI DSS scoping and segmentation guidance2, any system that provides a security service to the CDE, such as authentication, is considered a connected or security-impacting system (Category 2) and is in scope for PCI DSS. This is because such systems can affect the security and controls of the CDE and the cardholder data (CHD) or sensitive authentication data (SAD) that it contains. Therefore, an LDAP server providing authentication services to the CDE is in scope for PCI DSS, regardless of whether it stores, processes, or transmits CHD or SAD, or whether it provides authentication services to systems in the DMZ or not. References:

According to the PCI DSS v3.2.1 Quick Reference Guide1, visitors are escorted at all times within areas where cardholder data is processed or maintained, visitor badges are identical to badges used by onsite personnel, visitor log includes visitor name, address, and contact phone number, visitors retain their identification (for example a visitor badge) for 30 days after completion of the visit. These are some examples of procedures that must be included in an organization’s procedures for managing visitors who access in-scope systems where cardholder data is processed or maintained.

PCI DSS Requirement 12.10.1 requires entities to implement an incident response plan that includes roles, responsibilities, and communication and contact strategies for a data security incident, including notification of relevant payment brands1. This is important because each payment card brand has its own policies and procedures for dealing with a security breach, and failing to follow them or meet reporting deadlines could result in fines or loss of authority to process payment card transactions2. Therefore, an incident response plan must include procedures for notifying PCI SSC of the security incident, as well as any other entities that may require notification, whether by contract or law1. References:

According to the PCI DSS v3.2.1 Quick Reference Guide1, active network connections are tracked so that invalid response traffic can be identified. This is one of the requirements for preventing replay attacks and ensuring secure communication.
