A practitioner-grade, domain-level crosswalk between PCI DSS and ISO/IEC 27001. Understand how these compliance standards overlap to streamline your audit programs.
Defensible domain-level alignment based on shared technical topics (network security, cryptography, vulnerability management, access control). The PCI Security Standards Council has not published an official crosswalk to ISO/IEC 27001, and independent practitioner analyses suggest the requirement-level overlap is considerably narrower than the domain-level overlap implies — treat this as directional guidance only.
Network security controls and secure configuration are core Technological Controls topics on both sides.
Cryptographic protection of stored and transmitted data is an explicit Technological Controls topic.
Vulnerability management is explicitly named in both ISO's Technological Controls description and this PCI requirement grouping.
The logical-access portion of PCI's access-control requirements corresponds to ISO's access-management controls.
The physical-access portion of the same PCI requirement group corresponds to ISO's Physical Controls theme.
Logging, monitoring, and security testing are explicit technological-control topics on both sides.
PCI's information security policy requirement corresponds to the policy and governance controls in ISO's Organizational theme.
