PCI-DSS compliance controls

Preview

The ability for admins to add Enhanced Security and Compliance features is a feature in Public Preview. The compliance security profile and support for compliance standards are generally available (GA).

PCI-DSS compliance controls provide enhancements that help you with payment card industry (PCI) compliance for your workspace.

PCI-DSS compliance controls require enabling the compliance security profile, which adds monitoring agents, enforces instance types for inter-node encryption, provides a hardened compute image, and other features. For technical details, see Compliance security profile. It is your responsibility to confirm that each workspace has the compliance security profile enabled if it’s needed.

Which compute resources get enhanced security

The compliance security profile enhancements apply to compute resources in the classic compute plane in all regions.

Support for serverless SQL warehouses for the compliance security profile varies by region. See Serverless SQL warehouses support the compliance security profile in some regions.

Requirements

  • Your Databricks account must include the Enhanced Security and Compliance add-on. For details, see the pricing page.

  • Your Databricks workspace is on the Enterprise pricing tier.

  • Single sign-on (SSO) authentication is configured for the workspace.

  • Your workspace enables the compliance security profile and adds the PCI-DSS compliance standard as part of the compliance security profile configuration.

  • You must use only these VM instance types: C5a, C5ad, C5n, C6a, C6i, C6id, C6in, D3, D3en, G5, I3en, I4i, M5dn, M5n, M5zn, M6i, M6id, M6idn, M6in, P3dn, R-fleet, R5dn, R5n, R6i, R6id, R6idn, R6in, and Databricks fleet instance types M-fleet, MD-fleet, and RD-fleet.

  • Ensure that sensitive information is never entered in customer-defined input fields, such as workspace names, cluster names, and job names.

Enable PCI-DSS compliance controls on a workspace

To configure your workspace to support processing of data regulated by the PCI-DSS standard, the workspace must have the compliance security profile enabled. You can enable the compliance security profile and add the PCI-DSS compliance standard across all workspaces or only on some workspaces.

To enable the compliance security profile and add the PCI-DSS compliance standard for an existing workspace, see Enable features on a workspace.

To set an account-level setting to enable the compliance security profile and PCI-DSS for new workspaces, see Set account-level defaults for new workspaces.

Does Databricks permit the processing of credit card payment data on Databricks?

Yes, if you comply with the requirements, enable the compliance security profile, and add the PCI-DSS compliance standard as part of the compliance security profile configuration.
