Impact of the new PCI 4.0 on the former 3.2.1 requirement 7 are in the form of : Reformulation, clarification and amendements, removal and migration.
Terminology:
New controls: 4 new controls:
4.0 - 7.1.2 requires that roles and responsibilities for performing activities in Requirement 7 are documented, assigned, and understood.
4.0 - 7.2.4 requires to periodically review appropriateness of all user access and access privileges and to handle inappropriate access as well as to seek management approval of the appropriateness of remaining access.
4.0 - 7.2.5 requires that all application and system accounts and related access privileges are assigned and managed appropriately.
4.0 - 7.2.5.1 requires to periodically review appropriateness of all application and system accounts access and access privileges and to handle inappropriate access as well as to seek management approval of the appropriateness of remaining access.
Amended:
4.0 - 7.2.1 requires, in addition to tyhe definition of access, to define an access control model.
Removed:
Requirement 3.2.1 - 7.2 has been removed for redundancy reason.
3.2.1 - 7.2 - Establish an access control system(s) for systems components that restricts access based on a user’s need to know, and is set to “deny all” unless specifically allowed.
Migrated: One control from Requirement 8 has been moved into requiremet 7
3.2.1 - 8.7 All access to any database containing cardholder data (including access by applications, administrators, and all other users) is restricted as follows:
- The term "relevant" is replaced by "applicable"
- the terms "Development environment" and "test environment" are replaced by "Pre-production environments"
- the term "custom code" is replaced by "bespoke and custom software"
