Paya's Acumatica payments integration offers comprehensive PCI compliance resources, providing essential protection for your business and ensuring yearly compliance. In this blog post, we aim to inform Acumatica customers who process payments about some important updates to PCI DSS compliance. ### What's New with PCI DSS Version 4.0  A new PCI DSS version 4.0 was released in March 2022 with a transition period from v3.2.1 to v4.0 before March 31, 2024. These requirements will be enforced effective March 31, 2025. You can prepare for the changes now to avoid missing the deadline. Paya's Acumatica integrated payments solution ensures you may adhere to the new standards to maintain compliance and avoid penalties. For more information, the PCI Standards can all be downloaded from the PCI SSC Document Library: [https://pcisecuritystandards.org/document\_library ](https://pcisecuritystandards.org/document_library) ### Top 10 PCI DSS v4.0 Changes 1. Combat hidden malware communication channels by implementing advanced intrusion detection and prevention methods 2. Authenticated scanning for internal vulnerability scans 3. Reviewing user accounts and access privileges twice a year 4. Daily log reviews by use of automated mechanisms vs. the option of manual reviews previously 5. New measures to identify and safeguard employees from the ever-increasing threat of phishing attacks 6. More stringent password requirements (length increasing from 7 to 12 characters, no hard-coding in the files or scripts) 7. More thorough, specific and targeted risk assessments 8. Multi-factor authentication is required for all access to the Card Data Environment (CDE) vs. administrative access to CDE previously 9. Regular PCI DSS scope confirmation, including card data discovery techniques 10.
