Introduction to PCI Requirements
AMP supports wide security standards and functions in the wireless network. One component of network security
is the optional deployment of Payment Card Industry (PCI) Auditing.
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) establishes multiple levels in which payment
cardholder data is protected in a wireless network. AMP supports PCI requirements according to the standards
and specifications set forth by the following authority:

PCI Auditing in the AMP Interface
PCI Auditing in AMP allows you to monitor, audit, and demonstrate PCI compliance on the network. There are
five primary pages in which you establish, monitor, and access PCI auditing, as follows:
The AMP Setup > PCI Compliance page enables or disables PCI Compliance monitoring on the network,

and displays the current compliance status on the network. See
page 66.
The Reports > Definitions page allows you to create custom-configured and custom-scheduled PCI

Compliance reports. See
The Reports > Generated page lists PCI Compliance reports currently available, and allows you to generate

the latest daily version of the PCI Compliance Report with a single select. Refer to
Page Overview" on
The APs/Devices > PCI Compliance page enables you to analyze PCI Compliance for any specific device on

the network. This page is accessible when you select a specific device from the APs/Devices > Monitor page.
First, you must enable this function through AMP Setup. See
page 66.
The PCI Compliance Report offers additional information. Refer to

page 243. This report not only contains Pass or Fail status for each PCI requirement, but cites the action
required to resolve a Fail status when sufficient information is available.
NOTE: When any PCI requirement is enabled on AMP, then AMP grades the network as pass or fail for the respective PCI
requirement. Whenever a PCI requirement is not enabled in AMP, then AMP does not monitor the network's status in relation to
that requirement, and cannot designate Pass or Fail network status. AirWave users without RAPIDS visibility enabled will not see
the 11.1 PCI requirements in the PCI Compliance Report.
