PCI DSS 4.0 A3.1.2: A3.1.2 Formal PCI DSS compliance program elements

The entity must run a formal compliance program for PCI DSS that covers: defined activities to maintain and monitor overall PCI DSS compliance, BAU activities included; processes for the annual PCI DSS assessment; processes that validate PCI DSS requirements on an ongoing basis (daily, weekly or quarterly, for instance, as each requirement demands); and a business-impact analysis process that identifies how strategic business decisions could affect PCI DSS. Related PCI DSS requirements: all twelve. Guidance: the program may stand alone or sit inside a broader compliance or governance program with a well-defined methodology such as PDCA; strategic decisions worth analysing include acquisitions and mergers, buying new technology and new payment-acceptance channels. Applies only to designated entities. Objective under the customized approach: not eligible for the customized approach; only the defined approach can be used.

Other controls in Appendix A3: Designated Entities Supplemental Validation (DESV) – PCI DSS 4.0

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

PCI DSS 4.0 A3.1.2 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.
