• PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) defines technical and operational requirements for protecting payment data. • Recently this standard has raised the bar for how organizations protect payment data, especially in cloud-native environments. • With the release of PCI DSS 4.0, tatic credentials, hard-coded secrets, and limited visibility across development pipelines are no longer just bad practices, they are audit risks that could result in significant fines. • Organizations are being evaluated against stricter requirements that emphasize continuous security controls, visibility, and auditability. • HashiCorp Vault, HCP Vault Radar, HCP Boundary work together to help organizations meet PCI DSS 4.0.1 requirements by securing secrets within the cardholder data environment, protecting access to sensitive systems, and continuously monitoring for exposure across the software delivery lifecycle: - Vault secures secrets (credentials, keys, tokens, certificates, etc.) and cryptographic material within approved systems. • - HCP Vault Radar detects when those secrets escape into places they don’t belong, such as source code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, or collaboration tools.
