PCI DSS 4.0
Req 11: Test Security Regularly

PCI DSS 4.0 11.1.1: 11.1.1 Requirement 11 policies and procedures managed

Every security policy and operational procedure named anywhere in Requirement 11 (security testing of systems and networks) must satisfy four conditions: it is written down, it is maintained so it stays current, it is actually followed in practice, and every affected party is aware of it. In practice these are the documents behind the Requirement 11 topics (wireless detection, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, intrusion and change detection, payment page monitoring). Guidance (good practice): consider revising the documents soon after a change in processes, technology or business goals, not only on a periodic cycle. Customized approach objective: personnel understand and follow defined expectations, controls and oversight for Requirement 11 work, so that supporting activities are repeatable, consistent and aligned with what management intends.

Other controls in Req 11: Test Security Regularly

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

PCI DSS 4.0 11.1.1 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.
