PCI DSS 4.0 9.2.3: 9.2.3 Physical protection of network hardware and lines
Within the facility, physical access must be limited for wireless access points, gateways, networking and communications hardware, and telecommunication lines. The guidance explains that securing this equipment stops malicious people from reaching network resources, attaching their own devices to wired networks to reach the CDE or connected systems, or intercepting traffic. Applicability: all entities. Customized approach objective: people without authorization cannot get physical access to networking equipment.
This control maps to 52 controls across 20 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-03 Personnel activity and technology usage are monitored to find potentially adverse events
NIST-CSF-GV.RR-02 Roles, responsibilities, and authorities related to cybersecurity risk management are established, communicated, understood, and enforced
NIST-CSF-PR.AA-01 Identities and credentials for authorized users, services, and hardware are managed by the organization
NIST-CSF-PR.AA-05 Access permissions, entitlements, and authorizations are defined in a policy, managed, enforced, and reviewed, and incorporate the principles of least privilege and separation of duties
You are reading one control. How much of PCI DSS 4.0 have you already done?
PCI DSS 4.0 9.2.3 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.
