PCI DSS 4.0
Req 12: Information Security Policies

PCI DSS 4.0 12.8.2: 12.8.2 TPSP contracts acknowledging account data responsibility

The entity must hold written agreements with every TPSP that receives its account data or could influence CDE security, and each agreement must contain the TPSP's acknowledgment that it answers for protecting the account data it holds, stores, processes or transmits for the entity, or to whatever extent it could affect the entity's sensitive authentication data or cardholder data. Applicability: exact wording depends on the service and allocated responsibilities and need not match the requirement text. An AOC, website declaration, policy statement, responsibility matrix or other evidence outside a written agreement does not count as a written acknowledgment. Objective under the customized approach: records exist of every TPSP's acknowledgment of its duty to protect account data.

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 12.8.2 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.
