[PCI-DSS] Requirement 3: Protect stored cardholder data Encryption is a critical component of cardholder data protection. If an intruder circumvents other network security controls and gains access to encrypted data, without the proper cryptographic keys, the data is unreadable and unusable to that person. Other effective methods of protecting stored data should be considered as potential risk mitigation opportunities. For example, methods for minimizing risk include not storing cardholder data unless absolutely necessary, truncating cardholder data if full PAN is not needed, and not sending PAN in unencrypted e-mails.

Default [PCI-DSS] 3.2.1 Do not store the full contents of any track from the magnetic stripe (located on the back of a card, contained in a chip, or elsewhere). This data is alternatively called full track, track, track 1, track 2, and magnetic-stripe data.

3.2.1 For a sample of system components, examine the following and verify that the full contents of any track from the magnetic stripe on the back of card are not stored under any circumstance:
  • Incoming transaction data
  • All logs (for example, transaction, history, debugging, error)
  • History files
