Welcome to our series of articles on creating a checklist to verify that your Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster is PCI-DSS version 3.2.1 compliant. As more organisations adopt cloud-native technologies such as AKS, it becomes crucial that these systems meet the stringent security requirements necessary to protect sensitive data. One such standard is the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), which is designed to ensure that organisations that handle credit card data have the necessary security controls in place to protect that data from theft and fraud.
In the coming weeks, we will publish a series of articles that will guide you through each PCI-DSS requirement and explain how to implement it in your AKS cluster. Each article will focus on a particular requirement number, describing what that requirement entails and how to comply with it. At the conclusion of this series, you will have a comprehensive list of security controls to ensure that your AKS cluster complies with PCI-DSS requirements.
We're thrilled to share this series with you, and we hope you find it helpful in securing your AKS cluster and achieving PCI-DSS compliance. As soon as each article in the series is published, we will index it on this dedicated page for your convenience. Thus, you will be able to quickly and easily reference the entire list of AKS cluster security controls. Check back frequently or subscribe to our newsletter to receive updates as new articles are published.
We're committed to assisting you in keeping your AKS clusters secure and compliant with industry standards, and we'll continue this series with a new emphasis on PCI-DSS version 4.0. Our subsequent series will provide a comprehensive checklist for ensuring that your AKS cluster complies with PCI-DSS v4.0. Be on the lookout for this exciting new series, and sign up for our newsletter to be the first to learn when the first article is published.
