Run PCI Compliance Reports

PCI Compliance reports list the compliance status of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard parameters. The information in these reports are used by vendors to prove compliance to credit card companies and identify areas where they need to make changes in order to be compliant.

You can define, schedule, download, and delete PCI reports, and configure reports to be sent to a list of email addresses.

These reports can be requested for an entire tenant or for a specific tenant site.

If you have a site with ExtremeWireless WiNG APs, the PCI compliance report also contains a Threat AP information section.
