What's PCI DSS?

Earlier you read about the 12 PCI DSS requirements. In this short quiz, we focus on requirement number 4, "Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks."

1. How do card handlers comply with PCI DSS requirement 4 (above)? *

By locking paper forms with cardholder data inside a safe.

By using only approved P2PE payment card readers.

By reviewing daily transaction reports.

Incorrect. Locking cardholder data paper is a best practice, but this does not achieve compliance with requirement 4.

Correct. Approved readers use P2PE. They encrypt the payment transaction.

Incorrect. Reviewing reports is a good practice, but it does not achieve compliance with requirement 4. Please try again.

2. How do SRED payment card readers help Northwestern comply with requirement 4? *

Cardholder data is read when you swipe the card in the reader

SRED payment card readers use point-to-point encryption (P2PE)

Cardholder data travels across the Northwestern network

Incorrect. This is true but it doesn't help us comply with requirement 4. Please try again.

Correct. That's why it's so important to use only approved devices.

Incorrect. The opposite is true. No cardholder data travels across our network, but even so, there is a better way to explain why SRED devices help us comply with requirement 4.
