PCI (Payment Card Industry Security Standard)_Req 8.5

PCI (Payment Card Industry Security Standard)

Identify and authenticate access to system components

Req 8.5

8.5 Do not use group shared or generic IDs passwords or other authentication methods as follows: – Generic user IDs are disabled or removed. – Shared user IDs do not exist for system administration and other critical functions. – Shared and generic user IDs are not used to administer any system components.

If multiple users share the same authentication credentials (for example user account and password) it becomes impossible to trace system access and activities to an individual. This in turn prevents an entity from assigning accountability for or having effective logging of an individual’s actions since a given action could have been performed by anyone in the group that has knowledge of the authentication credentials.
