What is Segmentation Validation?
Segmentation validation is one of the most important methods for limiting in scope PCI systems and networks.
In order to determine scope for PCI DSS compliance, many organizations choose to segment their internal network into smaller sections in order to separate payment card data from other business processes. nGuard performs this service with expert pen testers which are guided and directed by nGuard’s PCI QSA team.
Reporting
nGuard provides professional deliverables that show what types of traffic are allowed into the PCI networks.
With each segmentation analysis, nGuard will publish a segmentation report that summarizes the traffic allowed from tested business networks into the targeted payment card data networks. These reports can be furnished to your PCI QSA auditor in support of the annual audit requirement.
