Require Phishing-Resistant MFA for All Users for PCI DSS Compliance

Learn how ID-04 helps you meet PCI DSS requirements for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security.

Organizations pursuing PCI DSS compliance need to address require phishing-resistant mfa for all users as part of their security program. The ID-04 control maps directly to PCI DSS requirements, helping demonstrate compliance while strengthening your security posture.

How ID-04 Addresses PCI DSS Requirements

PCI DSS requires organizations to implement controls around require phishing-resistant mfa for all users. The ID-04 control provides:

  • All users must use phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2, Windows Hello, passkeys)
  • SMS and voice call authentication methods are disabled tenant-wide
  • Push notification MFA is disabled or only allowed with number matching

These measures directly support PCI DSS compliance by ensuring proper identity security in your Microsoft 365 environment.

Implementation for Compliance

To satisfy PCI DSS requirements with this control:

  • **Enable the control** - Use TrueConfig's one-click remediation
  • **Document your implementation** - Record how the control was configured
  • **Maintain evidence** - TrueConfig automatically logs compliance status
  • **Monitor continuously** - Track any deviations from the expected state

Evidence Collection

For PCI DSS audits, you'll need to demonstrate:

  • Current configuration state
  • Historical compliance data
  • Remediation actions taken
  • Continuous monitoring in place

TrueConfig provides all of this evidence through its audit trail and reporting features.

Why This Control Matters for PCI DSS

Phishing attacks can bypass traditional MFA. At Level 3, the entire organization uses authentication methods that cryptographically prove user presence, eliminating MFA bypass attacks entirely.

Implementing ID-04 is an important step toward PCI DSS compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to PCI DSS requirements.
