PCI DSS 4.0 6.5.1: 6.5.1 Change control procedure for production
Every change to a system component in production must follow established procedures that include: the reason for the change and a description of it; documented security impact; documented approval from authorised parties; tests showing the change leaves system security intact; for changes to custom and bespoke software, tests of every update against Requirement 6.2.4 ahead of release to production; and procedures for handling failures and returning to a secure state. It applies to all entities. Objective under the customized approach: every change is tracked, authorised and assessed for its impact and security effects, and changes are handled so they do not unintentionally affect the security of system components.
This control maps to 109 controls across 21 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
NIST-CSF-ID.AM-08 Systems, hardware, software, services, and data are managed throughout their life cycles
NIST-CSF-ID.RA-07 Changes and exceptions are managed, assessed for risk impact, recorded, and tracked
NIST-CSF-PR.PS-01 Configuration management practices are established and applied
NIST-CSF-PR.PS-05 Installation and execution of unauthorized software are prevented
NIST-CSF-PR.PS-06 Secure software development practices are integrated, and their performance is monitored throughout the software development life cycle
You are reading one control. How much of PCI DSS 4.0 have you already done?
PCI DSS 4.0 6.5.1 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.
