Version 4.0 of PCI DSS is Coming Soon to VikingCloud
Maintaining Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance is mandatory for any business that accepts credit and debit cards. PCI DSS is a set of technical and operational requirements set by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) to protect payment card data.
Version 4.0 of PCI DSS has been released to place a greater emphasis on protecting against potential threats. This marks the first significant change to the standard in over a decade.
How this release impacts you will be determined by your Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) type, which is completed via the VikingCloud portal. The portal will be updated to ensure you are reporting against Version 4.0. If you are not the individual that is responsible for PCI compliance at your company, please forward this communication to the appropriate party.
What you need to know:
- If your SAQ is currently in progress, it must be completed by February 1, 2024. If not completed, your progress will be lost.
- After February 1, 2024, you will report your compliance against version 4.0.
- If you reported your compliance against version 3.2.1 this will still be valid for one year from the validation date.
If you have any questions, please contact VikingCloud at 833-907-0702 or CHS Payment Solutions at 800-852-5301.
