PCI DSS 4.0
Req 1: Network Security Controls

PCI DSS 4.0 1.2.7: 1.2.7 Six-monthly review of NSC configurations

Network security control configurations must be reviewed at least every six months, confirming each time that they remain relevant and effective. The testing procedures also check that configurations no longer backed by a business justification have been removed or updated, and the guidance suggests entities with many network changes consider reviewing more often. Applicability: no special notes; applies to every assessed entity. Customized approach objective: NSC settings that permit or block access to trusted networks are checked periodically so that only authorised connections with a current business justification remain allowed.

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

PCI DSS 4.0 1.2.7 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.
