Understand the scope
What the framework covers.
The library records this framework for payments, mobile point-of-sale, across global. The issuing authority determines applicability; your assessment scope should identify the organization, systems, services, and edition being assessed.
Areas of requirement
- PIN CVM security
- Contactless kernel security
- Device and OS integrity
- Backend monitoring
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.
