PCI DSS 4.0
Req 11: Test Security Regularly

PCI DSS 4.0 11.1.2: 11.1.2 Roles for security testing assigned and understood

The responsibilities for carrying out each activity in Requirement 11 must be written down, allocated to named roles or people, and understood by those people. Illustrative scope: who runs internal and external scans, who commissions and reviews penetration tests, who watches IDS/IPS and change-detection alerts, and who handles wireless access point detection. Guidance (good practice): roles can sit inside the policies and procedures or in a separate document such as a RACI matrix, and entities can consider having staff acknowledge their assignments. Customized approach objective: day-to-day duties for all Requirement 11 activities are allocated and personnel are held accountable for their ongoing, successful operation.

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 11.1.2 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.
