All Oracle Applications implementations that "Store, process, or transmit cardholder data" must comply with Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard 1.1 regardless of size or transaction volume. The PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) 1.1 is a set of stringent security requirements for networks, network devices, servers, and applications. The standard details specific requirements in terms of security configuration and policies and all the requirements are mandatory. PCI DSS is focused on securely handling cardholder data, but also has a significant emphasis on general IT security. This paper will review the credit card processing features of Oracle Applications and will provide general guidance for Oracle Applications implementations on complying with relevant PCI DSS requirements.
