How Virtualization Affects PCI Compliance
VMware and Foundstone recently completed a two-part white paper on how virtualization affects PCI Compliance. It takes a pragmatic view at the different components of virtualization technologies and provides a perspective on how enterprises that are looking to deploy such technologies should think about their impact on PCI compliance initiatives.
- Part 1: Mapping PCI Requirements and Virtualization
This paper presents a mapping for the various and relevant PCI requirements and how these are impacted by virtualization. - Part 2: A Review of the Top 5 Issues
This paper highlights what we believe to be the top five issues and concerns that PCI Qualified Security Assessors (QSA’s) have about virtualization technology. For each of these we propose solutions that organizations can rely on to demonstrate compliance while deploying virtualization technology within their PCI environment.
Find them both in the Resources section of the VMware Compliance Center.
