PCI DSS 4.0 10.4.1.1: Automated mechanisms used for audit log review

What does 10.4.1.1 require?

Audit log reviews must be carried out using automated mechanisms. Applies to all entities. The guidance gives log collection, parsing and alerting tools, central log management, event log analyzers and SIEM solutions as examples, and recommends a baseline of normal activity and periodic tuning of tool settings. Objective under the customized approach: a consistent, repeatable mechanism picks up activity that may be suspicious or anomalous. Future-dated: treated as a best practice up to 31 March 2025 and mandatory since then.

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 10.4.1.1 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.
