PCI DSS 4.0
Req 3: Protect Stored Account Data

PCI DSS 4.0 3.7.1: 3.7.1 Generation of strong cryptographic keys

Key-management policies and procedures must be in place covering the generation of strong keys that secure stored account data. Guidance points to the Appendix G sources on cryptographic key generation. Guidance explains that strong keys materially raise the protection of encrypted account data. Customized approach objective: the keys the entity generates are strong.

Other controls in Req 3: Protect Stored Account Data

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

PCI DSS 4.0 3.7.1 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.
