PCI DSS 4.0
Req 1: Network Security Controls

PCI DSS 4.0 1.2.2: 1.2.2 Network connection and NSC changes under change control

Every change to network connections and every change to the configuration of network security controls must be approved and handled through the formal change control process defined in Requirement 6.5.1. Applicability: a change to a network connection means adding, removing or altering a connection; a change to an NSC configuration includes changes to the device itself and changes that affect how it enforces security. Customized approach objective: changes to connections and NSCs do not lead to misconfigured devices, insecure services being introduced, or unauthorised connections.

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 1.2.2 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.
