This Azure-based virtual machine comes pre-configured with the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 (LVM) image, hardened to support compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Implementing PCI DSS benchmarks helps organizations strengthen their security posture and defend against advanced and persistent threats.

The PCI DSS is a comprehensive set of security standards developed by the PCI Security Standards Council to ensure that organizations processing, storing, or transmitting credit card information maintain a secure environment. These benchmarks provide clear guidance for protecting cardholder data, minimizing fraud, and improving overall information security.

The standard encompasses network security, encryption, access controls, monitoring, and logging to safeguard payment systems against breaches and unauthorized access.

PCI DSS compliance is essential for retailers, e-commerce businesses, financial institutions, and service providers. Beyond meeting regulatory requirements, PCI DSS offers a framework for implementing cybersecurity best practices that protect all sensitive data—not just payment information.

• Compliance and Trust: Demonstrating PCI DSS compliance helps meet regulatory requirements while building trust with customers and stakeholders by showing a strong commitment to security.
• Enhanced Security Posture: The PCI DSS framework helps organizations identify, address, and mitigate vulnerabilities, reducing the risk of costly breaches and protecting sensitive payment data.
