PCI DSS 4.0 10.2.1.5: 10.2.1.5 Logs capture changes to identification and authentication credentials
Audit logs must record every change to identification and authentication credentials, including at minimum: the creation of new accounts; any elevation of privileges; and every change, addition or deletion affecting accounts that hold administrative access. Applies to all entities. The guidance notes these records leave residual evidence if someone tries to misuse credentials to get around them or to impersonate a legitimate account. Customized approach objective: every change to identification and authentication credentials leaves a record.
This control maps to 35 controls across 18 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
You are reading one control. How much of PCI DSS 4.0 have you already done?
PCI DSS 4.0 10.2.1.5 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.
