    PCI DSS Scoping

    In this episode of InfoSec Insider, Tibor Laczko and Alastair Stewart, both Senior Consultants and Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs) at URM, explore scoping in the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Alastair and Tibor leverage nearly 30 years’ combined experience with the PCI DSS to discuss:      When an organisation stops being ‘just a merchant’ and becomes a PCI DSS service provider and how this distinction is made Whether organisations can be a merchant and service provider at the same time and how this should be reflected in the PCI DSS assessment Why Requirement 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 are particularly important for modern e-commerce scoping Some examples of systems that are not in the card data environment (CDE) but are still security-impacting and therefore in PCI DSS scope How elements such as administrative access, deployment pipelines, cloud consoles, source code repositories, and secrets management tools be considered during scoping And more.

    PCI DSS and Service Providers

    In this episode of InfoSec Insider, Alastair Stewart and Tibor Laczko, both Senior Consultants and Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs) with URM, explore some of the most misunderstood areas of PCI DSS scoping, focusing on service providers, merchants, and complex modern payment architectures. Alastair and Tibor leverage nearly 30 years’ combined experience with the PCI DSS to discuss: When an organisation stops being “just a merchant” and becomes a PCI DSS service provider, and what really drives that distinction How an organisation can be both a merchant and a service provider at the same time, and how this should be handled during a PCI DSS assessment The most common mistakes organisations make when deciding how they should be classified for PCI DSS purposes Whether companies providing payment-enabled platforms, but not directly handling PAN, can still fall under the definition of a service provider The responsibilities that remain when a third-party platform hosts the payment page but payment fields are served directly by a provider And more.

    Business Approaches to Risk Management

    In this episode of InfoSec Insider, Wayne Armstrong and Chris Heighes, both Senior Consultants at URM, offer key advice on effective approaches to cyber and information security risk management from a business perspective.  Chris and Wayne draw upon their combined 45 years of experience in information security and risk management to discuss: What good, risk-based decision-making actually looks like in practice, and where it most commonly breaks down The most concerning information security risks of today that do not get enough attention at the board or executive level How organisations can move away from checklist-driven compliance and towards meaningful cyber risk management that supports business objectives How organisations should rethink ownership and accountability for information security risk in light of growing dependence on cloud services and third-party providers The capability or mindset they believe information security leaders must develop now to remain effective risk advisers in the coming years.
