Details:

"How to embed an effective ISMS into an organisation's PCI-DSS compliance obligations"

The topic covers :

  • Initial process flow that ISO certification would expect to see when designing an ISMS;
  • PCI-DSS incorporation that involves what would be the right scope option for an organisation. Option examples include:
Option 1 - Have the CDE the scope of the 27001 based ISMS;
Option 2 - Have the entire organisation in scope and apply PCI-DSS controls to the entire organisation;
Option 3 - Have the entire organisation in scope of the ISMS, with PCI-DSS specific controls applied to the CDE and all controls applied on a risk based approach.
  • ISMS implementation stages such as management agreement and sign off, mapping of PCI-DSS requirements (or any others) and controls captured within ISMS;

  • Once the implementation phase had been reached and the supporting docs had been amended to capture PCI-DSS and other regulatory obligations, then following the "Plan-Do-Check-Act" cycle, we believe an organisation could then verify compliance by just having their ISO Annual and Surveillance audits being carried out verifying not only 27001 compliance but adherence to regulatory requirements such as PCI-DSS in this case.
