Early in 2022-23, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) V3.2.1 will be upgraded to PCI DSS 4.0. This is according to preliminary RFC draughts from the PCI Security Standards Council:
The new standards: new security measures needed to deal with ever-changing threats and risks to payment information.
New security's aims are as follows: Organizations have a variety of options when it comes to complying with PCI DSS standards.
There will be changes for Cloud Providers.
PCI DSS 4.0 will "further [support] the use of different technologies, such as cloud," according to the PCI DSS Security Standards Council, by introducing more flexibility into the requirements' wording and adding intent statements. An appendix to 4.0 is expected to be added to help cloud service providers better understand their roles and responsibilities. PCI compliance will be easier to maintain across the board as the payment card industry continues to face increasing cybercrime risks.
PCI DSS 4.0 affects card transactions directly.
PCI DSS 4.0's monitoring, authentication, encryption, testing, and access requirements can be modified or improved. An organization's implementation of new controls in accordance with the revised standards is permitted even if the 12 core PCI DSS requirements do not change. To ensure compliance, it will be necessary to document and test this flexibility. When it comes to budgeting, PCI DSS 4.0 has a significant impact. Once PCI DSS 4.0 standards are finalised, there should be enough time for budget development. This version of PCI DSS (3.2.1) is the best starting point for the upcoming PCI DSS (4.0).
