PCI DSS Requirements Reporting

BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on provides additional reports to show a cumulative compliance state of your endpoints based on the PCI DSS Requirements.

The PCI DSS Requirements reports are generated based on the Requirements and Security Assessment Procedures document. Each requirement has a corresponding checklist.
Note: PCI DSS requirements 3, 9, 11, and 12, which are process-oriented in nature, are not covered in BigFix Compliance.
These reports contain checklists that are mapped from the PCI DSS requirements and sub-requirements as seen in the following figure. The mapping was used in creating the checklists for the requirements perspective.
