STANDARD 01 SPECIFICATION

PCI DSS v4.0 Core Security Requirements

01.1 // CDE NETWORK SECURITY

Network Isolation & Firewalls

Evaluating firewalls, network segmentations, zero-trust access controls, and boundary restrictions around cardholder data.

01.2 // DATA ENCRYPTION AT REST & TRANSIT

Cardholder Account Data Protection

Verifying strong cryptographic protocols (TLS 1.3, AES-256), primary account number (PAN) masking, and key management systems.

01.3 // ACCESS CONTROL & MFA

Identity & Authentication Governance

Enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across all CDE access points, strict role-based permissions, and quarterly account reviews.

STANDARD 02 & TESTING FACILITIES

PCI DSS Assessment Facilities & Technical Verification

02.1 // ASV VULNERABILITY SCANNING

Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) Drills

Executing quarterly external vulnerability scans against public payment IPs using ASV certified scan engines.

02.2 // CDE PENETRATION TESTING

Internal & External Pentesting

Simulating real-world payment attacks against web checkout applications, APIs, and network segmentation boundaries.

02.3 // SAQ & ROC SIGN-OFF FACILITIES

Self-Assessment & RoC Guidance

Assisting merchants with SAQ A, A-EP, C, or D validation and preparing Report on Compliance (RoC) evidence packages.
