      - Requirement 1: Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data
        Many parts of requirement 1 such as your wireless network or router setup do not directly relate to Commerce+, but the requirements that relate to your site topology are extremely important. You must construct your Commerce+ site so that you never store cardholder data on internet-accessible systems.

Refer directly to the PCI DSS for details on this requirement.

      - Requirement 6: Develop and maintain secure systems and applications
        As your business needs change, you or your business partners might customize your Commerce+ site. As you do so, you must ensure that the customizations do not compromise your site security. Ensure that your developers understand the requirement to develop secure systems by referring to the PA-DSS and PCI-DSS.
