PCI DSS 4.0.1 requires both strong program oversight and real visibility into what happens inside the browser on payment pages. RiskWatch focuses on the program side of compliance. It provides assessments, control mapping, evidence collection, and risk scoring across dozens of frameworks including PCI DSS. PaymentGuard AI focuses on the browser layer. It monitors scripts that load on payment pages in real time and produces evidence for Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1. When used together, they support both the administrative and technical sides of PCI DSS 4.0.1.
RiskWatch: Compliance assessments, evidence collection, and risk scoring
RiskWatch is a compliance and risk management platform that supports PCI DSS through automated assessments, questionnaires, evidence workflows, dashboards, and reporting. It offers more than 40 pre-loaded regulatory and industry standards including PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO, and NIST. It helps teams track control status, manage documentation, and handle vendor and third party risk.
Key strengths:
- Prebuilt PCI DSS assessment templates and evidence workflows
- Automated collection of documentation and questionnaire based assessments
- Compliance dashboards and integrated risk scoring across frameworks
RiskWatch helps teams stay organized and audit ready, but it does not monitor browser activity or detect unauthorized script changes.
