PCI DSS v4.0.1 Compliance

PCI compliance software helps merchants and service providers meet PCI DSS requirements for protecting account data. Some tools manage the assessment workflow, such as SAQs and policy tracking. Others, like Netwrix, enforce and evidence the technical controls: finding where cardholder data lives, restricting and reviewing access to it, logging that access, and detecting unauthorized changes.

Mainly Requirement 3 (protect stored account data), Requirement 7 (restrict access by business need to know), Requirement 10 (log and monitor all access), Requirement 11 (change detection), and Requirement 12 (scope confirmation and incident response). The table above maps each one to the Netwrix product that supports it, and Auditor and Change Tracker include out-of-the-box reports mapped to PCI DSS, so you don't have to build evidence reports from scratch.

Yes. Data Classification scans your repositories with predefined PCI DSS rules, shows exactly where each match lives, and can move, redact, or strip global-group permissions from files that shouldn't hold card data. 1Secure adds sensitive data discovery across Windows file servers and SharePoint Online, so you can confirm PCI DSS scope from an actual inventory.

Large parts of it can. Data discovery, access reviews, audit logging and log review, file integrity monitoring, and evidence reports can run continuously instead of being rebuilt before each assessment. Scoping decisions, policies, and the assessment itself still need people, and Netwrix doesn't replace your QSA or your self-assessment questionnaire.

A PCI compliance audit is the annual assessment, run by a QSA or completed as a self-assessment questionnaire, that checks whether your controls meet PCI DSS. Audit software keeps a continuous record of who accessed or changed systems that hold cardholder data, when, and from where, so the evidence for Requirement 10 is ready instead of rebuilt by hand.

It depends on the gap. If you need SAQ workflows and policy templates, a compliance-workflow platform may fit better. If your gap is knowing where cardholder data lives, who can reach it, and proving what changed, that's what Netwrix's identity and data security portfolio solves.
