PCI DSS Security Policy Benchmark

The PCI DSS security policy benchmark is a proprietary information security standard for organizations that handle cardholder information for major debit and credit cards. The standard is defined by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. The intent is to reduce credit card fraud.

An Oracle Solaris system requires configuration to comply with the PCI DSS standard. The compliance report indicates which tests failed and which tests passed, and provides remediation steps. Because some PCI DSS requirements do not correspond directly to software, you must examine the compliance report and then perform additional tasks to comply with the standard.
