What Is VMware Compliance

Checker for PCI DSS v1.2?

VMware Compliance Checker should be downloaded by all

organizations that handle cardholder data, to assess and report

on the security and compliance of machines processing payment

card data against PCI DSS v1.2 rules. Compliance Checker for PCI

DSS v1.2 provides a real-time compliance check for multiple

Microsoft Windows servers and desktops. It produces a detailed

summary of the requirements that are met and those that are

not. This summary can be used to drive a remediation/mitigation

strategy and prepare for audits.

Organizations face increasing scrutiny when adhering to Payment

Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance. Fines

and penalties have increased dramatically for systems that are

not in compliance. According to VISA, 42 percent of large and

medium-size U.S. merchants do not reach their respective PCI

DSS compliance deadlines. Organizations continue to rely on

manual assessment methods for PCI DSS audits that require

signiﬁcant IT resources, from preparation to execution. Manually

checking systems against PCI DSS requirements is a time-consuming

and error-prone process.

How Does VMware

Compliance Checker

for PCI DSS v1.2 Work?

Compliance Checker for PCI DSS v1.2 downloads to a Windows

desktop. The intuitive Web-based interface requires little or no

learning curve. Simply point the product to the Windows

machines (virtual or physical) that you want to test compliance

against. The resultant compliance report provides a detailed rule-

by-rule indication of pass or failure. When compliance problems

are found, users are directed to a detailed knowledge base for an

explanation of the rule violated and advice on remediation.

The compliance results are presented by machine and by each speciﬁc PCI DSS

v1.2 requirement.
