PCI DSS 4.0
Req 9: Restrict Physical Access

PCI DSS 4.0 9.4.1: 9.4.1 Physical security of all media

Every item of media that holds cardholder data must be physically secured. The guidance explains that unprotected data on removable or portable media, printouts or material left on a desk can be viewed, copied or scanned by unauthorized people. Applicability: all entities that hold cardholder data on any media. Customized approach objective: people without authorization cannot get at media that contains cardholder data.

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 9.4.1 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.
