1.1.3 Examine data-flow
diagram and interview
personnel to verify the
diagram:
• Shows all cardholder
data flows across
systems and networks.
• Is kept current and
updated as needed
upon changes to the
environment.
Cardholder data-flow
diagrams identify the
location of all cardholder
data that is stored,
processed, or transmitted
within the network.
Network and cardholder

an organization to
understand and keep
track of the scope of their
environment, by showing
how cardholder data flows
across networks and
between individual
systems and devices.
