Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When cards come through your system's door
Security standards you can't ignore
PCI DSS sets the rules we follow
Twelve requirements we must not swallow
Store cardholder data with careful thought
Encrypt transmission or you'll be caught
Never save the CVV or PIN
That's where compliance must begin

[Chorus]
Tokenize, encrypt, validate input too
Never store what you don't need to use
Segment networks, log and monitor through
PCI compliance protects me and you
Salt and hash, secure the keys
Access control by degrees
Test your systems, patch with ease
PCI standards are guarantees

[Verse 2]
Primary account numbers need protection strong
Replace with tokens when storing long
Random values that mean nothing clear
Map to real data when payment's near
Database tables separate and clean
Cardholder data from what's routine
Minimize storage, delete when done
Retention policies for everyone

[Chorus]
Tokenize, encrypt, validate input too
Never store what you don't need to use
Segment networks, log and monitor through
PCI compliance protects me and you
Salt and hash, secure the keys
Access control by degrees
Test your systems, patch with ease
PCI standards are guarantees

[Bridge]
Strong cryptography AES two fifty six
HTTPS everywhere no HTTP tricks
Input validation stops injection attacks
Parameterized queries keep us on track
Firewall rules and network segmentation
Regular scans and penetration
Logs and monitoring twenty four seven
Code review keeps us in compliance heaven

[Verse 3]
Authentication strong for admin access
Multi factor auth prevents the bypass
Role based permissions least privilege rule
Regular updates keep systems cool
Secure development lifecycle practiced
Code reviews ensure standards are mastered
Vulnerability scans and testing done
Before production deployment has begun

[Chorus]
Tokenize, encrypt, validate input too
Never store what you don't need to use
Segment networks, log and monitor through
PCI compliance protects me and you
Salt and hash, secure the keys
Access control by degrees
Test your systems, patch with ease
PCI standards are guarantees

[Outro]
Twelve requirements guide the way
Keep cardholder data safe each day
From code to cloud the standards reign
PCI compliance breaks the chain
Of breaches that could hurt us all
Secure by design we stand tall
