Preparing for PCI DSS 4.0 Audit: Mastering the Latest Compliance Standards
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), established in 2004, is a global set of security standards designed to ensure the safe handling of credit card data. Recently, PCI DSS has evolved with the release of version 4.0, announced in March 2022, which includes 64 new requirements for organizations to meet.
PCI DSS 4.0 places a greater emphasis on continuous monitoring and a flexible framework for security measures. It encourages a more risk-based approach to cybersecurity implementation, with firms focusing on true risks based on robust threat intelligence to prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities and threats.
All companies that process credit card data, such as merchants and shop operators, must comply with the new PCI DSS 4.0 requirements by March 31, 2025. The requirements are divided into two phases, with 13 becoming mandatory on March 31, 2024, and the remaining 51 becoming mandatory on March 31, 2025.
