Achieving Network PCI Compliance with Ease
Any organization that accepts credit cards, via online or in storefronts must abide by PCI-DSS (PCI) regulatory compliance. Without automation and a full understanding of PCI requirements, the mandate can be a nightmare for networking teams to fulfill. To prove you are meeting PCI requirements, you must answer demands such as, “Show me who made changes to the network last Tuesday,” or “How do you know the approved change was implemented?” Even though PCI standards are broad, the process of learning, customizing and implementing the policies into specific rules for an individual organization involves extensive, time-consuming effort. Failure to abide by PCI compliance can lead to fines in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, or loss of credit card acceptance privileges.
Trinzic PCI Insight is a fully automated network PCI compliance management solution. With PCI Insight, you don’t need to become a PCI expert because our software will do the work for you. The solution employs a combination of automation and built-in PCI expertise that makes PCI compliance simple and easy — and takes the auditors off your back. The system helps you maintain consistent PCI compliance 24x7x365, and provides network discovery, change detection and security requirements tracking. Importantly, Trinzic PCI Insight delivers one-click compliance reporting, so you can see at any time what network elements are passing or failing PCI compliance, and why.
- Reduce the time needed to meet network PCI compliance requirements through automation and single-click reporting
- Get started easily with built-in analysis rules, templates and reporting
- Show network changes and historical configuration settings to meet a key requirement of PCI
- Maintain continuous compliance via proactive and automated configuration monitoring and PCI policy violation detection
- Eliminate guesswork with complete discovery, dynamic inventory and a view of all network devices, network constructs, their dependencies and topology
Reduce Time and Effort for PCI Reporting Requirements
Since the PCI mandate has extensive network-focused requirements, IT teams must prove compliance for internal and external auditors. Instead of your team having to go manually from device to device, rule by rule, Trinzic PCI Insight automates the monitoring and reporting requirements for network infrastructure for you.
Without automation, reporting requirements can take many people several weeks or months to compile, but with Trinzic PCI Insight’s embedded PCI-focused reports, documented compliance success can be proved anytime with a single-click report. The solution’s continuous monitoring ensures your organization will avoid risk throughout the year — not just during the periodic audit.
Fast Startup with Embedded Expertise
Instead of just collecting basic log files, Trinzic PCI Insight focuses on providing a higher level of PCI compliance visibility. A team of network experts scoured the complete PCI requirement and embedded the network-specific rules and policies within the console, so organizations can simply choose specific aspects instead of building them from scratch. The Infoblox expertise assists with building unique and customized rules and policies for each individual customer environment.
Since most IT personnel are not PCI experts, Trinzic PCI Insight provides the intelligence and automation to meet the stringent requirements, and frees up the networking team to focus on other core requirements. An Infoblox expert will work with you for several days to customize specific rules and policies based on your individual network device requirements for PCI—even for complex multi-vendor networks.
Prove Security Requirements with Change Tracking
For the PCI mandate, knowing there was a device change is not enough to satisfy auditors. You must show documentation that proves control processes have been followed. Trinzic PCI Insight automatically detects device changes, shows who made the changes and when, maintains a history of configurations and allows for fast searching on individual configuration aspects.
The actual changes detected by Trinzic PCI Insight can be compared and audited against the change management process to ensure each planned change was approved and to identify why unplanned changes occurred on the network. Within seconds, the system can drill down on individual devices or changes to see exactly what was modified and by whom.
Proactive Monitoring for PCI-Specific Requirements
While an audit may occur just once a year, Trinzic PCI Insight focuses on compliance monitoring continuously 24x7x365 across the network infrastructure to reduce security risks and identify inconsistencies. Once the specific PCI requirements and impacted devices are defined, the system automatically compares settings against the defined parameters.
If any change to the configuration setting causes a discrepancy compared to the rule, the system automatically generates an issue to highlight the violation. The detailed violation notification identifies the impacted devices and reports the exact details of which change caused a violation to a single or multiple PCI-focused rules. Automatic reports provide the current and historical status of compliance.
Automatic Network Discovery and Reporting
Trinzic PCI Insight includes auto-discovery and inventory for multi-vendor, network infrastructure devices. The network discovery and inventory includes detailed Layer 2 physical and Layer 3 logical data, including devices, VLANs, routes, routing tables, HSRP peers, subnets, OS and models.
Trinzic PCI Insight automatically collects information in real time and continuously keeps it up to date, making it always available for critical tasks such as inventory and troubleshooting. Key views include the network connections, their dependencies and topology views of the entire infrastructure. All of this network discovery information can be automatically synced with the Trinzic IP Address Management platform.
