PCI DSS 4.0 8.2.4: 8.2.4 User ID lifecycle changes authorized
Any addition, deletion or modification of a user ID, an authentication factor or another identifier object must be: authorized with appropriate approval; and carried out with only the privileges stated on the documented approval. The guidance stresses detecting IDs created or changed outside the normal process, since attackers often escalate an existing account or create new IDs. Applicability: covers every user account, whether held by employees, contractors, consultants, temporary staff or third-party vendors. Objective under the customized approach: no lifecycle event affecting a user ID or authentication factor can occur without appropriate authorization.
This control maps to 56 controls across 19 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
You are reading one control. How much of PCI DSS 4.0 have you already done?
PCI DSS 4.0 8.2.4 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.
