Web and database security present some of the most complex and costly barriers to compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Issues like secure Web application software development, database encryption, and database transaction auditing in high performance production environments cannot be addressed by simply adjusting system configurations or documenting policy for an existing process.These issues have architectural and human resource implications that significantly impact IT budgets.

Of the twelve requirements that comprise the standard, there are three requirements that most strategically impact Web and database security: requirement 3, requirement 6 and requirement 10. This paper focuses on these requirements. Designed for Web and database security professionals, key compliance challenges are analyzed with respect to impact on existing IT infrastructure, staff, and budget. We’ll also discuss how Web and database security appliances can be applied to achieve compliance more cost effectively than alternative approaches.
