Req 11: Test Security Regularly

PCI DSS 4.0 11.2.1: 11.2.1 Detect authorized and rogue wireless access points

The entity manages wireless access points, authorized or not, by: testing for the presence of Wi-Fi access points; detecting and identifying every authorized and unauthorized access point; performing this testing, detection and identification at least every three months; and, where automated monitoring is in place, notifying personnel through generated alerts. Guidance (examples and good practice): methods may include wireless scans, physical or logical inspection, network access control or wireless IDS/IPS, combined as the environment's size and complexity dictate. Applicability: the requirement still applies where policy bans wireless technology, and the chosen methods must be able to find both authorized and unauthorized devices, including rogue devices plugged into equipment that is itself authorized. Objective under the customized approach: rogue wireless access points are found and dealt with on a periodic basis.

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 11.2.1 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.
