AWS Security Reference Architecture: A deep dive into PCI DSS compliance
Brief
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is excited to announce the publication of the AWS Security Reference Architecture (AWS SRA) Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) Deep Dive . This new guide extends the core AWS SRA to provide prescriptive, architecture-level guidance for organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data on AWS.
Organizations subject to PCI DSS have long asked for a comprehensive reference that bridges the gap between general AWS security best practices and the specific technical and organizational controls required to achieve and maintain PCI DSS compliance.
This guide answers that need by showing how AWS SRA patterns address PCI DSS intent from account scoping and network segmentation to encryption, logging, and access control.
