Fast-Track Your PCI DSS 4.0 Compliance with Page Protect & AWS WAF – Source: securityboulevard.com

With new PCI DSS 4.0 compliance updates becoming mandatory on March 31st, 2025, securing your payment pages is non-negotiable—but it doesn’t have to be a challenge you face alone. That’s why, in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), we’re making it easier than ever for thousands of AWS WAF customers to effortlessly meet the new PCI DSS 4.0 requirements. With the right technology and trusted partners, staying ahead of evolving security and compliance needs has never been simpler.

Why is PCI DSS 4.0 compliance an urgent need?

Many online businesses—including retailers and financial organizations—operate with hundreds of client-side scripts on their payment pages, often relying on third-party code. These scripts create a high-risk attack surface, leaving businesses vulnerable to threats like digital skimming, formjacking, and clickjacking, which steal payment data and personally identifiable information (PII).

Unfortunately, existing tools require manual intervention and provide inadequate compliance support, making it difficult to keep up with evolving threats. As a result, businesses face critical security gaps and an urgent need to strengthen both their client-side defenses and compliance posture.

AWS & Page Protect: A fast, scalable, & cost-effective solution

Given the impending deadline, many AWS users are looking for fast and easy solutions—and DataDome is stepping up to help. Now, these AWS users can easily provision DataDome Page Protect directly from their AWS WAF console via the AWS Marketplace.  DataDome’s Page Protect allows AWS customers to protect client-side scripts—meeting requirements 6.4.3 & 11.6.1—from malicious attacks and tampering by automating 4 key security and compliance processes:

• Discover & inventory client-side scripts to maintain visibility over all script activity.
• Monitor activity continuously to detect suspicious behavior.
• Receive instant alerts for newly added scripts and unauthorized script modifications.
• Generate compliance reports easily to satisfy audit mandates hassle-free.

Failing to comply with PCI DSS 4.0 isn’t just a security risk—it comes with significant financial consequences. Non-compliance can result in fines ranging from $5,000 to $100,000 per month, depending on business size and the duration of the violation. Beyond fines, businesses may also face forensic investigation costs, legal fees, and even the risk of losing payment processing capabilities.

However, many app and IT teams may not have accounted for this new compliance expense in their budgets. That’s where DataDome can help out.
