Streamlining PCI DSS 4.0.1 Adoption in 2025
By Héctor Guillermo Martínez, President of GM Sectec
In 2025, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) 4.0.1 is the current benchmark
for securing international credit and debit card transactions. Is your business effectively navigating its
adoption?
PCI DSS 4.0.1 is the evolved version of the standard, designed to protect payment card information and
mitigate fraud. While PCI DSS 4.0 was initially released in March 2022, the 4.0.1 update, released in
June 2024, clarifies and refines requirements, making it the definitive standard to adhere to.
This version emphasizes security goals, offers greater flexibility in achieving compliance, introduces
robust multi-factor authentication and online security measures, and places a strong emphasis on risk
assessment and continuous security evaluation.
