We partnered up with VikingCloud, the largest global PCI compliance QSA and security firm on 2 webinars giving you the full context and info to implement PCI DS 4.0.1. With a special focus on requirements 6.4.3 & 11.6.1.

Some topics we covered:

PCI DSS 4.0.1 is already enforceable

Many organizations are behind in adopting its changes, especially the requirements 6.4.3 & 11.6.1 which became effective in early 2025.

SAQ A merchants are not exempt from real risks

Even though SAQ A avoids most technical requirements, client-side attacks can still target payment pages, especially through iframes, redirects, or 3rd-party scripts.

6.4.3 and 11.6.1 apply even if you're SAQ A

Many SAQ A setups load 3rd-party scripts in user browsers. These scripts can be tampered with — so monitoring is essential, despite the “light” SAQ categorization.

Compliance ≠ Security

You can be technically compliant but still vulnerable. The focus is shifting toward proactive threat detection and not just check-the-box approaches.

Tools alone won’t save you

Organizations need a blend of technology + process + people to implement PCI 4.0.1 properly.

Some questions we answered:

“We are a Level 1 service provider providing JavaScript UIs. How can we protect against issues on the merchant’s side, which we don’t control?”

Could we have suffered a client-side attack without knowing it? What if the breach happened months ago, and we’ve since made changes?”

“I’m a risk consultant. Should I raise this with IT and the C-suite?”

"I use Stripe. Am I safe?”
