If your business takes card payments, your firewall is part of your PCI DSS obligations. A Virtual Firewall gives card payments a protected, isolated path — and NinjaToolKit gives you evidence you can show an auditor.
A separate network for card devices
Your card terminals run on their own separate network, kept isolated from the rest of your office traffic. That separation is a core PCI DSS requirement, and it keeps a problem on a staff laptop away from your payment devices.
What the firewall does
The WatchGuard security suite blocks hacking attempts, malware and phishing and filters traffic in both directions, while card payments, email and your cloud apps keep working. NinjaToolKit audits the rules that protect your payment network on a regular schedule.
Evidence for your assessor
NinjaToolKit's reports map findings to PCI DSS v4.0, so you can show which firewall controls are in place and what to fix. A firewall supports PCI compliance but does not make your business compliant on its own — it covers the network part of the picture.
What your terminals still need
Keep your payment devices and their software up to date, use them only on the payment network, and follow your provider's guidance. The firewall protects the path; your terminals and processes cover the rest.
