A retailer’s development team retains payment records in a cloud environment. They want guidelines for secure handling of these transactions. Which recognized standard should they follow to better protect the data?
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) outlines specific controls for transactional data. It covers encryption, testing, and continuous monitoring. ISO 27001 establishes a wider information security management system but does not target payment records. Cloud Security Alliance guidelines are recommendations rather than strict mandates. SOC 2 examines principles such as availability and confidentiality, but it does not focus on the unique needs of credit or payment transactions.
