PCI Compliance is evolving.The payment card industry will see a new update to PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) enforced at the end of this month, with version 4.0 of the industry-wide regulations being applied from March 31st, 2024. We've shared how network assurance can assist in the PCI compliance processes before:

What are PCI Compliance, and PCI DSS?

We've discussed the 12 requirements PCI DSS compliance before, but as a quick overview, this regulation requires all businesses that process payment card data must adhere to the following:

What's changing with 4.0?

From March 31st, these requirements become stricter in the interest of treating data security as a continuous business activity, with more frequent testing, strengthened security, and streamlined compliance reporting. Additionally, more flexibility has also been introduced, with the acknowledgment and support of alternate methods of securing payment data, as long as security objectives are reached.

The full list of over 50 adjustments can be read in the PCI Council's Summary of Changes.

The spirit of proactivity and continuous assessment

Key themes emerging from the buzz around developing PCI DSS compliance standards are proactively taking measures to prevent, detect, and resolve security incidences, and continuous assessment is part of this proactive spirit.

The PCI Security Standards Council states that "doing the work" for PCI Compliance means documenting everything and avoiding recurring cycles of short-term compliance in favor of continuous practices.

When it comes to your IT network estate, automated assurance can help provide this continuous understanding of your end-to-end network state by automating your security audits, or providing daily network analysis reports for the teams that need them. Comprehensive and accurate historical understanding and documentation of your entire complex network estate will be part of a successful PCI-compliant organization.

13. How do chapters work?

In order for chapters to work properly, you need to add manually a headline block that is not coming from the cadence blocks. When you add a block, select the "Heading" block. Also please use the Headings in order meaning that if you have only titles after the blog's headline and no subtitles you'll be only using H2. If you have a subtitle of H2, you need to use H3. This is especially important for SEO.
