The BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on team is pleased to announce the availability of the new checklist for BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on: PCI DSS Checklist for AIX 7.x.

This new checklist is based on the guidance provided by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v4.0.1 and contains security configuration checks that evaluate the security settings of your AIX endpoints according to the PCI DSS standard.

As with most of the existing PCI DSS contents in the BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on library, this checklist includes checks with:

Approximately 40% of checks use BigFix relevance for continuous compliance.

Corresponding analyses properties to report actual values.

Standardized titles, descriptions, and measured values for enhanced readability and consistency.

The ability to ensure correctness of compliance data.

Some of the checks allow you to use the parameterized setting to enable customization for compliance evaluation.

Most of the checks also support remediation that allows BigFix operators to efficiently remediate a non-compliance issue with a single action.
