PCI DSS in AWS is an engineering problem
Compliance requirements become architecture decisions:
• Identity & access design• Network segmentation
• Logging & monitoring
• CI/CD & deployment practices
• Encryption & key management
• Operational ownership
• Scope reduction
Why we created this guideline
The goal is not to replace the PCI DSS standard, a Qualified Security Assessor, or formal implementation guidance. Instead, the booklet provides technical management-level context to help engineering, platform, DevOps, and security teams make better architectural and operational decisions.
How Tarmac.io helps
Tarmac helps engineering and leadership teams prepare AWS environments for PCI DSS and PCI 3DS requirements.
We support organizations in identifying technical gaps, improving architecture and operational readiness, and building the processes needed to sustain compliance over time.
The goal is not only to pass assessments, but to create secure, maintainable cloud environments that reduce operational friction and support long-term growth.
