What is Compliance by Design?
Rather than retrofitting security solutions to meet audit requirements, forward-thinking organizations are building their IT infrastructure with compliance as the foundation. This proactive approach eliminates the costly scramble of implementing disconnected point solutions when audit deadlines loom, instead creating integrated systems where security controls naturally align with regulatory frameworks from day one. By designing infrastructure around compliance requirements, companies achieve stronger security posture and audit readiness as inherent qualities of their systems, not afterthoughts.
How Can Privileged Access Management Help You with PCI-DSS Compliance?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) is a comprehensive security framework that applies to all organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. PCI-DSS establishes 12 core requirements across six control objectives including building and maintaining secure networks, protecting cardholder data, maintaining vulnerability management programs, implementing strong access controls measures, regularly monitoring and testing networks, and maintaining information security policies.
Our PAM solutions can help through:
Easy Integration
Admin By Request integrates with Windows, macOS, and hybrid cloud environments without requiring major infrastructure changes. This enables merchants, service providers, and payment processors to enhance their cardholder data environments (CDE) security controls without disrupting payment processing operation or existing PCI-DSS compliance infrastructure.
Access Control
Control privileged access through just-in-time elevation, approval workflows, and session time limits. Admin By Request PAM simplifies implementation of PCI-DSS Requirements 2 and 6 by providing secure configuration management for payment systems, controlled access during vulnerability remediation, and change control procedures that maintain security while ensuring payment processing continuity.
Simple Implementation
Deploy and manage granular access policies at scale using built-in automations. Admin By Request accelerates compliance with CISA BOD 22-01 Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) requirements by providing immediate access control during vulnerability remediation, emergency patching procedures, and system isolation activities while maintaining operational continuity.
Audit Readiness
Generate comprehensive logs, reports, and dashboards that directly support PCI-DSS Requirements 10 and 11 for logging and security testing. Admin By Request provides detailed audit trails of all access to cardholder data environments, security event monitoring, and evidence of access control effectiveness required for PCI assessments and compliance validation.
Data Protection
Eliminate the use of shared administrator accounts and unsecured credentials that create PCI-DSS compliance risks. Admin By Request issues secure, time-limited privilege elevation with full authentication and logging, supporting Requirements 3 and 4 by ensuring only authorized personnel can access systems that store or transmit cardholder data through encrypted, monitored channels.
Continuous Compliance
By removing standing privileges and securing access pathways to payment systems, Admin By Request supports key PCI-DSS objectives including network security, access control, and regular monitoring. This reduces the likelihood of data breaches that could result in card brand penalties, forensic investigation costs, or loss of payment processing privileges, while providing the controlled emergency access needed during incident response and payment system recovery operations.
