PCI DSS 4.0 Compliance Architecture

PCI DSS 4.0 Compliance Architecture

Challenge

Design and implement a secure, compliant Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) for a high-volume payment processing platform handling millions of daily transactions.

Solution Architecture

1. Network Segmentation & Secure Configuration

module "cde_vpc" {
  source = "./modules/secure-vpc"
  
  name               = "cde-payment"
  cidr               = "10.0.0.0/16"
  azs                = ["eu-west-1a", "eu-west-1b", "eu-west-1c"]
  
  # Security controls
  enable_nat_gateway = true
  single_nat_gateway = false
  
  tags = {
    Environment = "production"
    Compliance  = "pci-dss"
    DataClass   = "cardholder"
  }
}

2. Data Protection Strategy
