Req 9: Restrict Physical Access

PCI DSS 4.0 9.4.6: 9.4.6 Destruction of hard-copy materials

Hard-copy materials containing cardholder data must be destroyed once they are no longer required for legal or business purposes, in this way: they are shredded with a cross-cut shredder, burned or pulped so the cardholder data cannot be reconstructed; and while awaiting destruction they are kept in secure storage containers (the guidance suggests, for example, locked to-be-shredded bins). Applicability: these media destruction rules are separate from Requirement 3.2.1, which deals with securely deleting cardholder data once it passes the entity's retention period. Objective under the customized approach: no one can retrieve cardholder data from media once destroyed, or from media still awaiting destruction.

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 9.4.6 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.
