For removable electronic media (such as USB and flash drives), the anti-malware solution or solutions must either: scan the media automatically as soon as it is plugged in, connected or mounted logically; or carry out continuous behavioural analysis of systems or processes whenever such media is plugged in, connected or mounted logically. Applicability: this was advisory only up to 31 March 2025 and is now required and fully assessed. Objective under the customized approach: external removable media cannot be used to bring malware onto system components. Future-dated: treated as a best practice up to 31 March 2025 and mandatory since then.
This control maps to 35 controls across 18 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
PCI DSS 4.0 5.3.3 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.
The graph holds this control, the 35 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
