PCI-11.5:

Deploy file integrity monitoring to alert personnel to unauthorized modification of critical system or content files, and perform critical file comparisons at least daily (or more frequently if the process can be automated).

Critical files are not necessarily those containing cardholder data. For file integrity monitoring purposes, critical files are usually those that do not regularly change, but the modification of which could indicate a system compromise or risk of compromise. File integrity monitoring products usually come pre-configured with critical files for the related operating system. Other critical files, such as those for custom applications, must be evaluated and defined by the merchant or service provider.

PCI-11.5: Verify the use of file integrity monitoring products by observing system settings and monitored files, as well as reviewing results from monitoring activities.
