Source context

Recorded scope and limits

Read PCI SSC FAQ 1115, dated June 2012, for the distinction between connected-system scope and the requirements applicable to an individual system. Used with the current glossary to correct the guide’s misleading three-state shorthand. This source does not determine any entity’s scope, validate segmentation or establish compliance. Checked October 29, 2026.

Use the task guides below to see how this source informs a labeling decision. Check the publication scope and the edition adopted by your project before applying it. A publisher overview is not the full text of a standard, and software documentation does not prescribe a physical label format.

Read the library’s edition and applicability notes.

What this source establishes

Connected-system scope and per-system requirement applicability are different questions. The entity’s actual scope decision remains outside this labeling exercise.
