PCI DSS 4.0
Req 4: Protect Cardholder Data in Transit

PCI DSS 4.0 4.1.1: 4.1.1 Requirement 4 policies and procedures maintained and communicated

The organisation must hold security policies and operational procedures covering every activity named in Requirement 4 (encryption of PAN while it travels over open, public networks), and each of them must be: written down; reviewed and refreshed so they stay current; actually followed in practice; and communicated to everyone they affect. Updates should follow changes in process, technology or business objectives rather than wait for a scheduled cycle. Applicability: applies to every entity in scope, with no special notes. Customized approach objective: people involved in Requirement 4 work know what is expected of them and follow it, so the supporting activities run the same way each time and match what management intends.

Other controls in Req 4: Protect Cardholder Data in Transit

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

PCI DSS 4.0 4.1.1 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.

If you hold ISO 27001:202249.6% covered · 141 gapsIf you hold FedRAMP Moderate49.3% covered · 142 gapsIf you hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 547.5% covered · 147 gapsIf you hold ISO 27002:202243.2% covered · 159 gapsIf you hold CIS Controls v838.2% covered · 173 gapsIf you hold Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.136.4% covered · 178 gaps

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.
