11.2.2 Inventory of authorized wireless access points

The entity keeps an up-to-date inventory of the wireless access points it has authorized, and each entry carries a documented business justification. Guidance (purpose): the inventory helps administrators respond quickly when rogue devices are detected. Guidance (good practice): also record known neighbouring access points that appear in scans but are not attached to the entity's network, noting how it was confirmed they can be disregarded, and handle any rogue access point posing a threat to the CDE under the Requirement 12.10.1 incident response plan. Objective under the customized approach: rogue wireless access points cannot be confused with authorized ones.

Which requirements apply to you follows your validation type.
