    Version 4 – It’s Actually Coming Soon!

    We’ve been mentioning it for years now, but in some exciting PCI DSS news, Version 4.0 is
    actually coming soon.

    On 22 January 2022, the PCI SSC released the stakeholder preview of version 4.0. And while
    we are still under an NDA and can’t talk about it, we’re excited to say that we’re already starting
    to put together some great content that we can’t wait to talk about.

    We are expecting Version 4.0 to go ‘live’ to everyone at the end of March 2022 with the new
    version of the standard and the updated reporting documents. Version 4.0 is expected to bring
    a lot of changes, including:

    • New requirements
    • Changes to reporting
    • Updates to existing requirements

    Keep an eye out on our blog for more Version 4.0 content starting in March / April 2022. And if
    you’re a participating organisation, make sure your Primary Contact downloads the documents
    so you can get a look at them as soon as possible.

    Whether you’re assessing against Version 3.2.1 or hoping to move to Version 4.0 as soon as
    possible, contact us to see how we can help with your PCI DSS compliance regardless of
    whether you’ve been doing PCI DSS since Version 1.0 or if you think your first assessment will
    use Version 4.0.

  • An Interview with Confide’s Associate Director of Security

    An Interview with Confide’s Associate Director of Security

    In January 2021, the PCI Security Standards Council published an interview with Nicole Braun,
    Confide’s Associate Director of Security to find out about how she got involved in the payments
    field, and her experiences as a woman working in a field that has been traditionally male.

    She also talks about how Confide approaches PCI DSS with our customers, working to help them
    do better.

    Do Good Deeds and Take Donations Securely

    If you’re a charity, you may never have thought that you might need PCI compliance and why it
    might matter to your donors.

    The Fred Hollows Foundation has worked hard to reach, and maintain on an annual basis, PCI
    compliance and has found clear benefits to their organisation, including:

    • Stronger foundation for the organisation’s overall cybersecurity
    • Improved staff attitudes to IT security

    While they initially found PCI to be a complex topic, working together with Confide they’ve
    developed a strong focus on compliance and security.
