Supporting PCI

The accreditation of the capability and reliability of a PCI and DPCI using the methodology outlined in [SP 800-79] depends on adequate security for the information systems that are used for PCI and DPCI functions. The assurance that such a security exists in a PCI and DPCI is obtained through evidence of the application of the Risk Management Framework guidelines specified in [SP 800-37]. The methodology in [SP 800-37] was, in turn, created pursuant to a mandate in Appendix III of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular [A-130]. An information system authorization decision, together with evidence of security control monitoring compliant with [SP 800-37] guidelines, signifies that a PCI/DPCI organization’s official accepts responsibility for the security (in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information) of the information systems that will be involved in carrying out the PCI/DPCI functions. Hence, evidence of successful application of the Risk Management Framework consistent with [SP 800-37] guidelines is mandatory for issuing PCI/DPCI accreditation using [SP 800-79].
