User Manual

This documentation does not apply to the most recent version of Splunk® App for PCI Compliance. For documentation on the most recent version, go to the latest release.

Overview

The Splunk App for PCI Compliance provides the compliance practitioner with visibility into compliance-relevant threats found in the cardholder data environment (CDE). Through the use of Splunk's unique and powerful search correlation and reporting capabilities, the Splunk App for PCI Compliance provides a top-down and bottom-up view of an organization's current PCI compliance status. A PCI compliance practitioner can effectively monitor, investigate, and report on current Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) compliance.

The Splunk App for PCI Compliance is built on the Splunk Operational Intelligence platform and leverages Splunk's native search and correlation capabilities, allowing PCI compliance practitioners to capture, monitor, and report on data from devices, systems, users, and applications in the cardholder data environment. As issues are identified, analysts can quickly investigate and resolve compliance issues.
