Audit Flagged PCI 6.4.3 & 11.6.1? Offload Your Compliance Burden to DataStealth

‍

‍

The dust has settled on your recent PCI DSS audit, but instead of relief, you’re looking at a new priority: meeting requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1.

Being tasked with addressing these new requirements can feel like sudden, unexpected weight, especially when your attention and resources are already stretched thin.

However, you must prioritze these requirements. 

Technically, you were supposed to have met requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 by the March 31st 2025 enforcement deadline. Thus, if you are breached, the payment processors/providers will hold you accountable for your lack of controls and, in turn, potentially levy strong penalties like non-compliance fees or revoke your ability to process payments. 

This new challenge of managing detailed script inventories and implementing monitoring often raises concerns about diverting internal teams or, perhaps, introducing operational complexities that could impact development velocity or user experience.

It’s a familiar problem in the compliance landscape: the standards evolve, demanding constant adaptation. PCI DSS v4.0 requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 are just the latest example. 

This constant need to adjust and implement new controls can feel burdensome, leading many leaders to wish for a way to ensure these specific, often technically nuanced, requirements are met reliably, without becoming a recurring drain on their time and resources.

But what if you could offload requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1?

DataStealth’s eSkimming Protection: Your Compliance Easy Button

‍

DataStealth’s eSkimming Protection was designed precisely for this situation, especially for platforms that manage high transaction volumes and complex third-party integrations. 

Built from the ground up to meet – and exceed – PCI DSS v4.0 requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1, eSkimming Protection will speed up your compliance efforts and help you stay ahead of evolving rules without burdening you or your internal teams.

‍

Meet and Exceed Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1

‍

1. Automated Script Management (6.4.3)

‍

Tracking every script – from analytics tools and marketing pixels to payment processors and potentially even logistics partners – across your checkout flow is a significant task. 

DataStealth’s eSkimming Protection solution manages this by dynamically cataloging and analyzing every script, be it inline, first-party, third-party, and/or fourth-party, in real-time, all before the page reaches the consumer’s browser. 

It maintains a comprehensive inventory of authorized scripts and their integrity checks, automatically blocking unauthorized scripts. This automated approach ensures continuous compliance without manual intervention.

‍

2. Proactive, Real-Time Tamper Detection (11.6.1)

‍

Our solution continuously monitors these elements in real-time, again, before the page reaches the consumer’s browser. 

It instantly detects unauthorized changes or tampering attempts. Real-time alerts and security responses are triggered immediately, enabling rapid response and ensuring compliance

‍

3. Complete Coverage

‍

Your customers shop using various devices and browsers. DataStealth works seamlessly across all of them, ensuring consistent security. 

This 100% browser coverage is achieved because it inspects traffic in real-time before reaching the browser, independent of the endpoint environment. 

In contrast, alternative script-based solutions typically only support the most widely adopted or used browsers, thereby leaving a gap of exposed customers. Moreover, these solutions are also susceptible to being blocked by user-installed extensions, like ad blockers.

‍

4. Tamper-Proof by Design

‍

DataStealth does not rely on scripts to monitor scripts. Attackers cannot disable the monitoring because there are no client-side scripts to compromise. 

In fact, the PCI Council recognizes that script-based solutions can be disabled or tampered with in other ways, hence why they require merchants using them to implement controls to alert them in case these scripts get deleted from the protected page. 

Our eSkimming Protection solution doesn’t suffer from these vulnerabilities and limitations. It’s more secure and easier to deploy and manage. 

‍

5. Purpose-Built Protective Protection

‍

Specifically designed for PCI DSS v4 requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1, eSkimming Protection eliminates gaps exploited by script-based attacks. It proactively detects, alerts, and prevents unauthorized scripts from loading entirely, rather than merely detecting them after the fact.

‍

Zero Implementation Effort on Your End

‍

1. No Code Changes Needed

‍

Avoid bogging down your development teams or disrupting your release cadence.

DataStealth’s eSkimming Protection solution requires only a small DNS network change to route traffic for inspection; no application code changes are needed. This avoids the taxing process and PCI scope impact of injecting and maintaining sensor scripts across your applications.

‍

2. Platform Agnostic

‍

Working inline with traffic before it's served to consumers makes eSkimming Protection entirely agnostic to client platforms, operating systems, and browsers. This ensures that your customer base is covered in its entirety. 

‍

3. Scalability Without Friction

‍

DataStealth eSkimming Protection easily scales across large infrastructures without demanding burdensome maintenance, adapting smoothly to your traffic needs.

‍

4. We Run and Maintain Your System

‍

Once we install eSkimming Protection to your system, our team takes on most of the workload of managing and maintaining your implementation. This frees you from the need to train teams on a new technology stack or hire/divert staff. 

If you’re working with a QSA, we’ll also provide complete documentation – including Attestation of Compliance (AOC) – security validation, and responsibility matrix. This will allow your QSA to easily evaluate and verify your compliance efforts.
