Where a third party reaches, supports or maintains system components remotely, the accounts it uses must be: switched on only for as long as needed and switched off when idle; and monitored for unexpected activity. The guidance advises that where round-the-clock access is genuinely needed it be recorded, justified, watched and linked to particular service needs, and suggests start and stop dates aligned with the service contract. Objective under the customized approach: remote access by third parties is unusable unless specifically authorized, and management oversees its use.
This control maps to 54 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.
NIST-CSF-DE.CM-06 External service provider activities and services are monitored to find potentially adverse events
NIST-CSF-GV.SC-05 Requirements to address cybersecurity risks in supply chains are established, prioritized, and integrated into contracts and other types of agreements with suppliers and other relevant third parties
You are reading one control. How much of PCI DSS 4.0 have you already done?
PCI DSS 4.0 8.2.7 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.
