PCI DSS 4.0 Is A Reality, Are You Ready for
This New Challenge?
The moment we have all been waiting for has arrived.
By Héctor Guillermo Martínez, President GM Sectec
Online transaction security has become even more crucial with the official launch of PCI DSS 4.0 on April
1, 2024. Developed in response to the massive growth of online transactions and the evolving tactics of
threat actors, this mandatory global standard applies to any organization that stores, processes, or
transmits cardholder data.
PCI DSS 4.0 Transition Begins:
PCI DSS 4.0 officially took effect on April 1, 2024, with a full compliance deadline of March 31, 2025. It
is essential to begin the transition from PCI DSS 3.2.1 now to ensure regulatory compliance and ensure
uninterrupted business operations.
