Understand the scope

What the framework covers.

The library records this framework for payments, card issuers, across global. The issuing authority determines applicability; your assessment scope should identify the organization, systems, services, and edition being assessed.

Areas of requirement

Physical security
Logical security
Personnel management
Data and key management

The library tracks the authority and edition. A normalized requirement catalog is not available for this framework, so a requirement count is not stated here.

Source access and licensing

Freely downloadable from PCI SSC; PCI SSC's terms permit identifiers and structure, not verbatim requirement text, without a separate license.

Prepare with context

The evidence behind
the requirements.

Evidence needs to demonstrate how a requirement is met within the assessment scope. Keep the source requirement, collection context, responsible owner, review decision, and period of applicability together.

A framework-specific collection workflow has not been activated. The reference material on this page can inform scoping and preparation; it does not establish evidence collection or assessment readiness.

ControlFrame availability

Framework reference available

Authority and version facts, with a parsed public catalog when available; no tenant blueprint or executable evidence method is activated.

How availability is determined

PCI Card Production and Provisioning is tracked in the registry — authority, version ledger, verification — and nothing else is modelled for it yet. Import its catalog to begin.

Catalog status: Planned. Tracked metadata: we record the regime and its issuing authority for review. Registry presence does not mean automated monitoring is active. No control or requirement model is implemented.

Named and tracked only; requirements not modelled as a control catalog.
