- Observation of an administrator logging in, demonstrating the second factor is demanded · Identity provider / directory

- Evidence the factors used are independent, so compromise of one does not yield the other · Identity provider / directory

governing documentDocuments that govern the control
- Network and system configurations showing multi-factor authentication is required for all non-console access into the cardholder data environment by personnel with administrative access · Policy repository / GRC workspace
- Inventory of administrative access paths into the environment, each mapped to its enforcement point · Policy repository / GRC workspace
First move
Mostly documents and reviews. Pull the 1 system-held artefact from your Identity provider / directory on a schedule; put the documents under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- Multi-factor at the virtual private network boundary with unprotected administrative access once inside
- Jump host protected while direct database, hypervisor and appliance management paths are not
- Both factors delivered to the same device or derived from the same secret, so independence fails
