PCI DSS for AI agents.
For Anyone whose agents touch payment or cardholder-data flows.
Agents that can move money or reach cardholder data fall under PCI DSS. HiveKey enforces least privilege and a full audit trail around every payment action.
Note: HiveKey is in private beta and is not itself PCI DSS-certified yet. This page describes how the control plane helps you enforce controls and produce evidence for your own PCI DSS audit. It isn't legal or compliance advice.
How agent governance maps to PCI DSS.
Scope, Guard, and Log line up with controls you already report against — applied to the agent layer.
Restrict access (Req. 7)
Agents get only the payment actions they need; raw card-data reads denied.
Identify & authenticate (Req. 8)
Every agent has a unique identity tied to an owner — no shared credentials.
Log & monitor (Req. 10)
Every payment action logged with who/what/when; streamed to your SIEM.
Spend control
Per-agent caps and approval thresholds stop runaway or fraudulent charges in the path.
Walk into the audit with the records, not a story.
Because enforcement happens in the path, the evidence is produced as agents act — not reconstructed later from scattered logs.
- Payment-action audit trail
- Per-agent identity records
- Spend-cap + approval logs
- Denied-charge records
Make your agents PCI DSS-ready.
