For anyone handling cardholder data, PCI DSS is not optional — and it calls out file-integrity monitoring by name. Meeting it is a matter of the right control plus the right evidence.
What the requirement expects
PCI DSS expects change-detection on critical files and the ability to alert on and review unexpected changes to cardholder-data systems. It is about both detection and demonstrable process.

Less noise, more signal
