PCI DSS Compliance Through Execution Control

MagicSword helps reduce execution risk in environments handling payment data by preventing abuse of administrative tools, reducing ransomware exposure, and enforcing controlled execution on POS and payment systems.

What PCI DSS Requires

PCI DSS mandates strict controls over payment card environments. Organizations must demonstrate they can prevent unauthorized access, restrict execution to approved software, and maintain continuous monitoring of cardholder data environments.

How MagicSword Addresses It

MagicSword enforces execution control across POS terminals, store endpoints, and back-office environments. Abused RMM platforms, vulnerable signed drivers, and high-risk administrative tools are automatically blocked unless explicitly required.
