AWS Security Hub now supports automated security checks aligned to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v4.0.1. PCI DSS is a compliance framework that provides a set of rules and guidelines for safely handling credit and debit card information. PCI DSS standard in Security Hub provides a set of AWS security best practices that support you in protecting your cardholder data environments (CDE). Security Hub PCI DSS v4.0.1 includes 144 automated controls that conduct continual checks against PCI DSS requirements.
The new standard is now available in all public AWS Regions where Security Hub is available and in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To quickly enable the new standard across your AWS environment, we recommend you using Security Hub central configuration. This will allow you to enable the standard in some or all of your organization accounts and across all AWS Regions that are linked to Security Hub with a single action. If you currently use PCI v3.2.1 standard in Security Hub, but want to use only v4.0.1, enable the newer version before disabling the older version. This prevents gaps in your security checks.
