A cybersecurity analyst at a large e-commerce company is tasked with reviewing the organization's security posture. The primary goal is to ensure compliance with standards for handling customer credit card information. The analyst must map vulnerability scan findings to the specific controls required by the relevant framework. Which of the following frameworks should the analyst prioritize for this specific task?
Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP)
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27000 series
Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
The correct answer is the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), as it is the framework specifically created to protect cardholder data and regulate entities that store, process, or transmit this information. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks provide prescriptive guidance for securely configuring systems but do not focus on payment card data specifically. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) focuses on web application security risks, like the OWASP Top 10, rather than the broader compliance requirements for payment data. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27000 series provides a broad framework for an Information Security Management System (ISMS) but is not specifically focused on payment card transaction security.
