PCI DSS 4.0 8.3.8: 8.3.8 Authentication policies communicated to users
Authentication policies and procedures must be documented and communicated to all users, and must include: guidance on choosing strong authentication factors; guidance on how users should protect their factors; instructions not to reuse passwords or passphrases used before; and instructions to change a password or passphrase when compromise is suspected or known, plus how to report the incident. Objective under the customized approach: users know how to use authentication factors properly and can get help and guidance when needed.
This control maps to 34 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.
NIST-CSF-GV.PO-02 Policy for managing cybersecurity risks is reviewed, updated, communicated, and enforced to reflect changes in requirements, threats, technology, and organizational mission
You are reading one control. How much of PCI DSS 4.0 have you already done?
PCI DSS 4.0 8.3.8 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.
