PCI DSS 4.0
Req 12: Information Security Policies

PCI DSS 4.0 12.4.1: 12.4.1 Executive responsibility for a PCI DSS compliance program

Service providers only: executive management must set up responsibility for protecting cardholder data and for a PCI DSS compliance program, covering: overall accountability for keeping PCI DSS compliance; and defining a charter for the compliance program along with communication to executive management. Applicability: applies only where the assessed entity is a service provider. Executive management can mean C-level roles, the board or an equivalent, with titles depending on the organisation's structure; responsibility for the program may be allocated to individual roles and/or business units. Customized approach objective: executives are answerable and accountable for cardholder data security.

Other controls in Req 12: Information Security Policies

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

PCI DSS 4.0 12.4.1 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.
