Personnel with administrative access who reach the CDE through any non-console connection must use MFA. The guidance defines that using the same factor twice, such as two passwords, does not count as MFA. Applicability: covers every person holding administrative or elevated privileges who reach the CDE over a non-console connection, meaning logical access across a network interface rather than a direct physical connection. Objective under the customized approach: nobody can obtain administrative access into the CDE using a single factor alone.
This control maps to 44 controls across 23 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 8.4.1 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.
