PCI DSS In 2025: How New Rules Could Simplify Compliance For Merchants

PCI DSS updates in 2025 will enforce requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1, targeting online merchants to enhance payment security against script-based skimming attacks like Magecart. New exemptions may simplify compliance for qualifying merchants who fully outsource payment processing and ensure overall site security. While immediate compliance involves implementing extensive monitoring and script management, long-term goals should focus on attaining SAQ A status to reduce future requirements, emphasizing a strategic approach to ongoing PCI DSS obligations.
