ISO 27001Annex A 8.22 — Segregation of networks
NIS2Article 21(2)(a) — System security

What You Get

Implementation of network segmentation to isolate the cardholder data environment (CDE) and reduce PCI DSS scope. We configure: VPC/VLAN separation between CDE and non-CDE networks, firewall rules permitting only necessary traffic, micro-segmentation for database and application tiers, jump box / bastion host for administrative access, and segmentation testing to verify isolation. Result: reduced PCI scope, lower compliance cost, and stronger security posture.

Optimum Web provides audit preparation, documentation and technical verification. We are not a certification body, we do not employ auditors, and we do not perform internal or certification audits. The Clause 9.2 internal audit is conducted by a person independent of the area audited within your organisation, or by an auditor you appoint; the certification audit is conducted by an accredited certification body. Our role is to make sure you are ready for both.

Who Needs This

  • Companies whose entire network is in PCI scope due to lack of segmentation
  • Organizations wanting to reduce PCI compliance scope and cost
  • Businesses whose PCI assessor flagged insufficient segmentation
  • Companies migrating payment systems to cloud and need proper isolation

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does segmentation reduce PCI scope?+
Dramatically. Without segmentation, your entire network is in scope. With proper segmentation, only the CDE (typically 5-10 servers) is in scope. This can reduce audit cost by 60-80%.
Can this be done in the cloud?+
Yes. We use VPCs (AWS/GCP), NSGs (Azure), and security groups for cloud segmentation. Cloud-native tools make segmentation easier and more granular than traditional on-premise networks.
What is a bastion host?+
A hardened jump box that is the only entry point to the CDE for administrators. Instead of direct access to payment servers, admins SSH/RDP through the bastion host, which logs all sessions.
How do you validate segmentation works?+
We perform a segmentation penetration test: attempt to access CDE systems from non-CDE networks. PCI DSS requires this test every 6 months (Req.11.4.5). The first test is included in this service.
Will segmentation break our existing applications?+
We map all legitimate traffic flows before making changes. Segmentation rules are designed to permit required traffic and block everything else. We test in staging before production.
