Aperia Compliance launches Payment Script Monitor to prevent fraud and ensure PCI compliance
Aperia Compliance, an IXOPAY company and a leader in Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) validation and risk management, today announced the launch of Payment Script Monitor, an advanced compliance solution designed to help merchants meet the final phase of PCI DSS 4.0 requirements taking effect on March 31, 2025.
With cybercriminals increasingly targeting online payment pages through malicious script injections, Payment Script Monitor provides continuous monitoring, real-time alerts, and compliance automation, enabling businesses to detect and prevent unauthorized modifications to their checkout pages. The solution specifically helps merchants comply with the critical PCI DSS requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1, which mandate active script management and monitoring for e-commerce transactions.
“PCI DSS 4.0 significantly raises the bar for merchant security, particularly with the introduction of the script management and monitoring requirements for e-commerce sites,” said John Noltensmeyer, Chief Information Security Officer at IXOPAY. “We understand the evolving requirements can be challenging for merchants. Payment Script Monitor gives them an automated way to track and validate changes to scripts on their payment pages, reducing security risks and ensuring compliance without adding operational complexity.”
Supporting Compliance, Security, and Revenue Growth
Built as an intuitive, cost-effective solution, Payment Script Monitor empowers merchants, ISOs, acquirers, and payment processors to maintain compliance effortlessly. Key features include:
- Automated Script Inventory – Instantly generates a baseline inventory of all active scripts on merchant payment pages for easier onboarding.
- Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts – Detects unauthorized changes and malicious modifications with continuous scanning.
