Req 9: Restrict Physical Access

PCI DSS 4.0 9.3.4: 9.3.4 Visitor logs for facility and sensitive areas

Visitor logs must keep a physical record of visitor activity inside the facility and inside sensitive areas, capturing: who the visitor is and which organization they come from; the visit date and time; and the name of the person who authorized their physical access. The log is to be retained for at least three months where the law permits. Recording both arrival and departure times, and checking the visitor's ID against the name they record, is described in the guidance as good practice, not a requirement. Applicability: all entities. Objective under the customized approach: visitor access is recorded in a way that lets individuals be identified.

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 9.3.4 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.
