PCI DSS 4.0
Req 1: Network Security Controls

PCI DSS 4.0 1.2.1: 1.2.1 Ruleset configuration standards for NSCs

The entity must have configuration standards for the rulesets of its network security controls, and those standards must be defined, put into effect on the devices, and kept maintained over time. The guidance gives firewalls, cloud virtual networks and routers filtered by ACLs as examples of NSCs such standards cover. Applicability: no special notes; applies to every assessed entity. Customized approach objective: how NSCs are set up and how they behave is specified in advance and applied the same way across the environment.

Other controls in Req 1: Network Security Controls

You are reading one control. How much of PCI DSS 4.0 have you already done?

PCI DSS 4.0 1.2.1 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of PCI DSS 4.0 your existing evidence covers. Hold ISO 27001:2022 and 139 of 280 PCI DSS 4.0 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 415 were rejected on the ISO 27001:2022 pair alone.
