What Changed?

The new version 4.0 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) required compliance by April 1, 2025. While the update was designed to improve security for payment card transactions, safeguard sensitive information, maintain trust in electronic payments, and reduce the chance of yet another data breach, many organizations that handle credit card transactions were not prepared for—or even aware—the changing requirements.

Although the deadline has passed, your organization can still take steps to verify whether you’re meeting the new standards and address any gaps. These updated requirements, mandated by the PCI Security Standards Council, require companies that handle, process, or facilitate transactions to take a proactive approach in ensuring compliance.
