The compliance deadline (March 31, 2025) for PCI DSS v4.0.1 is over. This date was a big change for global information security rules. It’s now April 1, 2025, and companies need to ask: “What’s next?”
Some organizations haven’t finished requirement 6.4.3 (script integrity verification) or requirement 11.6.1 (browser protection controls). They must act fast to avoid non-compliance consequences. Even if you meet the compliance deadline of March 31, 2025, it is hard to maintain security. This is because rules change often.
Feroot PaymentGuard AI offers smart tools. It ensures compliance with strong security controls. It also helps companies handle compliance assessments well.
What PCI DSS 4.0.1 Means Now
PCI DSS 4 is a major update to the rules for card industry data security. It focuses on constant safety, not just one-time checks. This changes how business processes work.
Companies must improve their information security systems. They need to add security controls to protect payment card data for the long term.
What Happens After the Deadline
The compliance deadline (March 31, 2025) wasn’t the end. It started a new time of ongoing compliance management. This needs constant work to enhance security.
For requirement 6.4.3, companies must keep doing integrity verification on payment scripts. They need to spot any sneaky changes. This means keeping a full script inventory and checking scripts all the time.
They also use documentation generation to log their work. This helps reduce the risk of data breaches.
Requirement 11.6.1 says you must protect payment pages with browser protection. You need regular compliance assessments to fight threats like formjacking, card skimming, and data theft. These can harm payment card data.
QSA (Qualified Security Assessor) teams and card brands are now stricter. They do tough compliance audits. If you don’t follow the rules, non-compliance consequences are big.
You might lose payment rights or pay higher fees. You could face investigations after a breach. Audits will be harder, and your reputation might suffer with customers.
