P2PE, or point-to-point encryption, is a security standard developed by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) to ensure that payment card data is encrypted from the start to the finish of a transaction.

Most organizations rely heavily on emails for their daily business communication, but email remains one of the most common vectors businesses are attacked. This is why it is essential to implement email security best practices.

Documentation security is the maintenance of all essential documents stored, filed, backed up, processed, delivered, and eventually discarded when they are no longer needed.

The PCI DSS requirements apply to all system components, including people, processes and technologies that store, process or transmit cardholder data or sensitive authentication data, included in or connected to the cardholder data environment.

Regular firewall reviews help ensure that weaknesses in network security are identified prior to exploitation, and allow rules to be updated as necessary to address technology changes or new threats.

The firewall rule base must be reviewed at least quarterly and the change management process created to add and push the policy to the firewall.
