Establish a mechanism for systems with multiple users that restricts access based on a user’s need to know, and is set to “deny all” unless specifically allowed.


PCI-7.2: Examine system settings and vendor documentation to verify there is an access control system in place, and that it is implemented to include the following:


  • Coverage of all system components.
  • Assignment of privileges to individuals based on job classification and function.
  • “Deny-all” setting by default (some access control systems are set by default to “allow-all” thereby allowing access unless/until a rule is written to specifically deny it).
