PCI DSS 4.0
Req 9: Restrict Physical Access

PCI DSS 4.0 9.2.1.1: 9.2.1.1 Monitoring of entry to sensitive areas

Individual physical entry into sensitive areas within the CDE must be monitored by video cameras, physical access control mechanisms, or both, such that: all points of entry to and exit from these sensitive areas are covered; the cameras or access mechanisms are shielded against tampering or being disabled; the collected data is reviewed and matched against other entry records; and the data is kept for at least three months where the law permits. The guidance suggests, for example, placing cameras out of reach or monitoring them to detect tampering, and says the chosen mechanism should cover every entry and exit point. Applicability: all entities with sensitive areas inside the CDE. Objective under the customized approach: trustworthy, verifiable records exist of each person entering and leaving sensitive areas.

Other controls in Req 9: Restrict Physical Access

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

PCI DSS 4.0 9.2.1.1 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.
