6.5 System Evidence

Introduction

The Part 1, 6.5 Systems Evidencing is heavily reliant on Part 1, Sections 4.8 and/or 4.9. Consequently, this content needs to be added before it can be added as a reference at 6.5 Systems Evidence.

Procedure

1. If the evidence is already available for referencing in Section 6.5, select ‘Insert Part 1 Section 6 Evidence'
PCI DSS 6.5 System Evidencing
2. If no evidence is available for referencing, in Section 6.5, select ‘Edit Part 1 Section 6 Evidence’

4. If no suitable Systems or Sample Sets are already listed in Part 1 Section 4.8 and/or 4.9, select the '4.8 System Components' or '4.9 Sample Sets' link as shown below

8. Conclusion

With the Section 6.5 being heavily dependent on the content from Sections 4.8 & 4.9, the procedure for added the evidence reference is more involved, when no supporting content is available at Sections 4.8 & 4.9. Consequently, the RMS has linked these dependent sections together to ensure that all these sections are comprehensively compiled, in support of the Section 6.5 evidence referencing.
