PCI DSS 4.0
Req 10: Logging and Monitoring

PCI DSS 4.0 10.2.1.7: 10.2.1.7 Logs capture creation and deletion of system-level objects

Every time a system-level object is created or deleted, the audit logs must record it. Applies to all entities. The guidance explains that malicious software frequently adds or swaps system-level objects in order to take over of a function, and that logging these events makes it easier to judge whether a change was authorized. Objective under the customized approach: changes suggesting a system has been altered away from its intended function leave 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 10.2.1.7 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.
