Implementing PCI DSS Requirement 3: Encryption & Tokenization Strategies

Overview

PCI DSS Requirement 3 focuses on protecting stored cardholder data through encryption, tokenization, and other cryptographic methods. This article explores practical implementation strategies.

Key Components

1. Encryption Requirements

3.1: Keep cardholder data storage to a minimum

  • Implement data retention policies
  • Automate data lifecycle management
  • Regular data discovery scans

3.2: Do not store sensitive authentication data

  • Prohibit storage of full track data, CVV2, PIN blocks
  • Implement validation in CI/CD pipelines
  • Regular scanning for accidental storage

2. Cryptographic Implementation
