PCI-DSS 4.0: What’s changing and how to prepare
As of March 2024, PCI-DSS 4.0 will introduce some significant changes. In this post, we go over what some of those changes are, as well as how you can prepare for them.
FAQ
PCI DSS levels are based on annual transaction volume. Merchants have four levels. Level 1 applies to organizations processing more than 6 million transactions annually and typically requires a QSA audit. Levels 2 through 4 generally complete an SAQ. Service providers have two levels, with Level 1 applying at 300,000 or more transactions annually and typically requiring a ROC.
SOC 2 evaluates how your organization protects customer data. PCI DSS focuses specifically on protecting cardholder data. If you process payments and handle sensitive customer data, you may need both. Vanta helps you manage both in one platform.
Costs usually include your compliance platform, any required QSA audit fees, and ASV scanning fees. Companies that can self-attest with an SAQ may avoid audit costs. Vanta helps reduce prep time and manual work, which can lower overall compliance costs.
Vanta helps you define and manage your PCI scope by guiding you through selecting your organization type and assessment path within the platform. Based on that scope, Vanta maps applicable PCI requirements to relevant controls and provides continuous monitoring to help you track the effectiveness of those controls over time.
