Req 7: Restrict Access by Need to Know

PCI DSS 4.0 7.1.2: 7.1.2 Requirement 7 roles and responsibilities assigned

Responsibility for carrying out each activity in Requirement 7 (defining the access model, approving privileges, provisioning, reviewing accounts and operating access control systems) must be documented, formally assigned, and understood by those holding it. The guidance notes that roles may sit inside the policies and procedures or in separate documents such as a RACI matrix, and that personnel may be asked to acknowledge the duties assigned to them. Customized approach objective: day-to-day duties for all Requirement 7 activities are allocated, and the people holding them are accountable for keeping these controls operating successfully and continuously.

Other controls in Req 7: Restrict Access by Need to Know

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

PCI DSS 4.0 7.1.2 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.
