Systems located within the CDE are in scope, irrespective of their functionality or the reason why they are in the CDE.
Similarly, systems that connect to a system in the CDE are in scope, irrespective of their functionality or the reason they have connectivity to the CDE.
In a flat network, all systems are in scope if any single system stores, process or transmits account data.
