Meet PCI DSS v4.0.1 before your 2026 assessment

PCI DSS v4.0.1 is now fully mandatory — all 51 future-dated requirements became effective 31 March 2025, with first full assessment cycles due in 2026. As a payment processor or fintech, you need annual penetration testing, six-monthly segmentation validation, and evidence of MFA enforcement across cardholder data environments. NodeZero delivers all three autonomously.

Your specific challenges

PCI DSS v4.0.1 full compliance

All advanced requirements around encryption, cryptographic controls, and secure development are now mandatory. First full assessment cycles are due in 2026.

Recurring segmentation testing

PCI DSS requires six-monthly segmentation testing for service providers (annual for merchants). Manual testing at this cadence is cost-prohibitive.

Speed of growth vs security maturity

Fintech growth often outpaces security infrastructure. New services, APIs, and integrations expand the attack surface faster than manual testing can cover.
