PCI-DSS 4.0

Version 4.0, effective April 2024, introduced significant changes — new authentication requirements, expanded scope for e-commerce, and stronger encryption mandates. Cybria Secure provides PCI-DSS gap assessment, remediation and QSA-ready documentation for Indian payment businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Indian e-commerce companies need PCI-DSS?

Yes. If you process, store or transmit cardholder data — or if your platform connects to payment gateways — PCI-DSS applies regardless of geography. The card brands (Visa, Mastercard) mandate it globally.

What changed in PCI-DSS version 4.0?

Key changes include mandatory MFA for all CDE access, stronger password requirements, expanded scope for e-commerce and phishing controls, new targeted risk analysis approach, and several new requirements becoming mandatory in April 2025.

We use a payment gateway — are we still in scope?

Possibly, depending on your integration. Using an iframe or redirect significantly reduces scope. We assess your specific payment flow to determine your actual CDE scope before any remediation work begins.
