How to reduce PCI DSS cost?

Network segmentation is the key to reducing PCI DSS cost and scope. Proper segmentation already increases security by separating the network so that there are clear zones for the cardholder data environment, shared services, and out-of-scope.

Here are some ways you can reduce PCI DSS costs. They are : 

• Place proper restrictions on various systems and tactics dealing with cardholder data. Isolate cardholder data to a segregated environment. 
• Implement tokenization and encryption technology to protect cardholder data during relaxation and transit.
• If you operate third-party solutions for price processing or e-trade, ensure they are PCI DSS compliant. Choose carriers that could demonstrate their commitment to security.
• Conduct everyday safety checks, including vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, to proactively discover and cope with vulnerabilities. 
• Invest in security awareness training for personnel to reduce the risk of human mistakes that could lead to safety incidents or non-compliance. 
• Streamline documentation efforts via growing clear and concise rules, procedures, and information. Evade over-documentation that could cause useless information. 
• Implement continuous monitoring solutions to discover security incidents and compliance deviations in real time, reducing the need for manual exams. 
• Apply a risk-first-based technique to PCI DSS compliance. Focus efforts on areas with the highest chance and impact on cardholder data security. 
• Invest in safety automation equipment that could help with compliance duties, which include log control, event correlation, and reporting. 

Consider outsourcing processing to a PCI DSS-compliant service issuer. This can shift some compliance responsibilities and charges to the company, reducing your organization’s costs. If you think so, contact Sprinto.
