Achieve PCI DSS Compliance with Ease

Credit cards are everywhere. And wherever they go, PCI DSS follows. If your business handles payment data in any form, PCI Compliance isn’t just a checkbox, it’s a contract. With your customers. With your regulators. With your future. 

But here’s the thing: compliance doesn’t have to feel like a burden. Not when your identity and access controls actually work with you. 

That’s where OpenIAM steps in. We help you build identity governance that’s precise, automatic, and, dare we say, refreshingly sane. 

Less stress. More control. Real compliance. 

What Is PCI DSS, and Why Should You Care? 

Let’s cut to it: PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a global rule book designed to protect credit card data. If you process, store, or transmit cardholder info, even just once, you need to comply. 

Why? Because protecting this data is serious business. The stakes are high: 

• Steep fines and legal headaches 

• Skyrocketing transaction fees 

• Worst of all: losing the ability to accept payments 

But this isn’t just about dodging disaster. Strong PCI Compliance builds trust with your customers. It shows you care about the security of their money, and their identity. 

The Real Problem? Identity Sprawl 

We’ve seen it again and again. Companies scrambling during audits, pulling together spreadsheets, trying to answer basic questions like: 

“Who has access to what?” 
“Why does that account still exist?” 
“Wait, how many admins do we have?” 

Sound familiar? 

Without OpenIAM: 

• Users get blanket access because it’s “easier” 

• Shared logins are passed around like sticky notes 

• Passwords are weak, reused, or written on desks 

• Offboarding happens days, or weeks, late 

• Nobody really knows who has access to what anymore 

That’s a recipe for trouble. 

With OpenIAM: 

• Access is tightly scoped, by role, by policy 

• Everyone has a unique ID. No ghost users. No shared keys. 

• MFA is standard, not a someday, maybe 

• People get access on day one, and lose it the moment they leave 

• Everything’s visible, trackable, and auditable 

In short? It just works. And it works right. 

How OpenIAM Gets You PCI Compliant and Keeps You There 

We built OpenIAM to make complex standards like PCI DSS feel... a little less complex. Here’s how we help you knock out the most important requirements, without knocking yourself out. 

Access Control That Makes Sense 

PCI DSS Requirement 7 

• Assign access based on job roles, not guesswork 

• Create clear separation of duties so no one has too much power 

• Prevent overreach with need-to-know policies that actually stick 

Authentication You Can Trust 

Requirement 8 

• No more shared accounts, every user gets a unique ID 

• Layer on MFA with biometrics, smart cards, or one-time codes 

• Automate session timeouts, password complexity, and lockouts 

Audit Logs  

Requirement 10 

• Record every meaningful action, cleanly, immutably, and in real-time 

• Store logs that meet PCI Compliance format and retention rules 

• Set up alerts so you’re never caught off-guard 

Lifecycle Management That Actually Manages 

• Provision users the right way from day one 

• Sync with your HR and helpdesk systems so access stays current 

• Automatically pull the plug when people leave or change roles 

Access Reviews That Aren’t a Chore 

• Trigger quarterly or on-demand certifications 

• Let managers review and approve access with a click 

• Clear out stale or risky access with smart, actionable reports
