Jscrambler, a principal participating organization in the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), has just released a free tool to help companies check their JavaScript and bring it into compliance with the latest PCI DSS standard, version 4.0.
From its beginning, e-commerce relied upon credit cards to tender payments. To protect transactions, in 2004 the major credit card companies banded together to create the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
(PCI DSS) 1.0. Since then, merchants, banks, developers, and other institutions joined in to shape its direction. PCI SSC released
PCI DSS v4.0 in March 2022, beginning the two-year phase-out of the previous version (v3.2.1). By the next year — March 31, 2025 — all
those who abide by the standard will need to be in compliance with the
specifics of PCI DSS 4.0.
