Log monitoring is a crucial aspect of PCI DSS compliance. The objective for organizations is to be in a position to identify security incidents immediately and respond before they result in a data breach. The technical measures that organizations must implement are elaborated in requirement 10, but they also appear in other requirements, such as 11.5.
Broadly speaking, organizations must ensure they have the capability to:
- Collect logs from the network and maintain the audit trail
- Store logs securely
- Implement change detection and file integrity monitoring
- Review security events at least every 24 hours
- Investigate and respond to security incidents promptly
