G/Day forum,

I'm looking for a File/Folder encryption solution (aside from EFS) for my
Windows 2000 based file server. This is based on one of the requirements of
Visa/MasterCards PCI Data Security Standard - http://snipurl.com/fhzg .

To achieve compliancy with PCI DSS, we need to imply the following controls
on credit card data:

1) to encrypt data at a folder level - that is all of the containing folders
and files
2) to allow for split knowledge of encryption keys and management thereof
3) to allow for strong encryption support (algorithms like 3DES, AES, etc)
4) a mechanism for automating the encryption process on a daily basis - this
is coincide with a backup cycle (no clear text credit card files get backed
up onto tape)

Your thoughts on any products that suit my requirements?

Regards,
Steve.

Just out of curiosity, are you believing that use of EFS cannot
acheive one or more of your listed requirements ? (as I did not
see one)

Apparently the credit card companies in question do not approve of EFS (as
per our Auditors) - pity that because its exactly what I'm looking for.

Steve.

I am an auditor from a Qualified Security Assessor for Visa/MC PCI DSS
Assessments.
I would be interested to discuss further the possible use of EFS in regards
to compliance to PCI.
If interested please provide me with some contact details.
