How DataDome Enabled Seamless PCI DSS 4.0 Compliance for a Leading Beverage Retailer

A leading online beverage retailer, known for offering an extensive selection of drinks from top retailers worldwide, processes thousands of payment transactions daily on their website and mobile app. With the PCI DSS 4.0 deadline approaching and increasing risks of cardholder data theft, they needed a fast, effective solution to become compliant before the March 31st, 2025 deadline. By working with DataDome—leveraging our partnership with Source Defense— they met PCI DSS 6.4.3 & 11.6.1, securing cardholder data with script inventory, monitoring, and policy management—all in minutes.

The challenge: A looming compliance deadline with costly fines

As the March 31st PCI DSS 4.0 compliance deadline approached, a leading online beverage retailer was facing a critical challenge: ensuring their payment pages met the new client-side security requirements (6.4.3 & 11.6.1) in time—without adding operational complexity and additional tools.

They knew their WAF and network security controls were simply not equipped to protect client-side scripts, leaving them vulnerable to cardholder data theft and potential non-compliance penalties that could reach up to $100,000 per month. They needed an affordable and effective solution fast.

The solution: Client-side protection for PCI DSS 4.0 compliance

Through DataDome’s partnership with Source Defense, the team adopted a turnkey client-side security approach designed to automate compliance and eliminate the risk of card skimming attacks. With a rapid deployment process requiring only minutes of set up, the brand quickly gained:

• Real-time script monitoring & inventory to detect unauthorized changes
• Anomaly detection to flag and mitigate threats before they become a breach
• Automated PCI DSS 4.0 compliance reporting to simplify audits and documentation

Thanks to DataDome+Source Defense, they found exactly what they needed. With no-code deployment, they were able to get up and running quickly, avoiding any disruption to their website operations. The solution’s predictable, per-payment-page pricing allowed them to meet compliance requirements without unexpected costs.

The results: Compliance without complexity

With DataDome and Source Defense, the company met the compliance deadline ahead of schedule, avoiding costly fines and ensuring secure online transactions for their customers. But beyond compliance, they gained ongoing protection against evolving cyberfraud threats, proactively securing their payment pages rather than reacting to attacks.

Now, the company enjoys peace of mind, knowing their customer data is secure and their security team isn’t bogged down with manual monitoring. They’ve simplified compliance while strengthening client-side security on critical payment flows.
