PCI DSS 4.0
Req 10: Logging and Monitoring

PCI DSS 4.0 10.2.1.3: 10.2.1.3 Access to the audit logs is itself logged

Audit logs must record every access made to the audit logs themselves. Applies to all entities. The guidance explains that attackers often try to alter logs to hide what they did, so a trail of access lets the entity trace inconsistencies or tampering back to an individual account. Customized approach objective: every access to audit log data leaves a record.

Other controls in Req 10: Logging and Monitoring

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

PCI DSS 4.0 10.2.1.3 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.
