PCI (Payment Card Industry Security Standard)

Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data

Test 1.3.6

1.3.6 Examine firewall and router configurations to verify that system components that store cardholder data are on an internal network zone segregated from the DMZ and other untrusted networks.

If cardholder data is located within the DMZ it is easier for an external attacker to access this information since there are fewer layers to penetrate.

Note: This requirement is not intended to apply to temporary storage of cardholder data in volatile memory.
