PCI DSS 4.0.1

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard

Global standard for credit card data security; mandates automated log reviews, MFA, and strict network segmentation.

"Protecting Every Transaction, Every Terminal, Every Time"

Value Proposition: Why Choose AdVran for PCI DSS?

PCI DSS 4.0.1 raised the bar significantly—automated log reviews, mandatory MFA for all access to cardholder data, and customized security approaches require more than annual checkbox exercises. You need continuous operational security.

1. Scope Reduction Through Segmentation

We architect your network to minimize the cardholder data environment (CDE) scope. Proper segmentation means fewer systems in scope, lower compliance costs, and reduced risk exposure—without sacrificing operational efficiency.

2. Continuous Monitoring, Not Annual Scans

PCI DSS 4.0.1 emphasizes continuous security. Our 24/7 SOC monitors your CDE in real time, correlating events across POS terminals, payment gateways, and back-office systems. We detect anomalies when they happen, not during next quarter’s scan.

3. Automated Log Review

The new standard mandates automated review of security event logs. Our SIEM platform ingests, correlates, and analyzes logs from every in-scope system automatically—meeting the requirement while providing actionable threat intelligence.

4. MFA Enforcement Everywhere

PCI DSS 4.0.1 requires MFA for all access to the CDE. We deploy and manage MFA across your entire payment environment, including administrative access, remote connections, and third-party vendor sessions.

5. QSA-Ready Documentation

We maintain audit-ready documentation including network diagrams, data flow maps, configuration standards, and evidence of control effectiveness. When your Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) arrives, the evidence package is already assembled.
