What Is SecurityMetrics?

SecurityMetrics is a leading provider of data security and compliance services. They are an officially recognized Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) for the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). For over two decades, they've helped organizations worldwide—from small businesses to large enterprises—meet compliance mandates and protect cardholder data from threats like data breaches and ecommerce skimming (also known as Magecart attacks). Their services include PCI assessments, forensic investigations, penetration testing, and a suite of compliance and security tools.

SecurityMetrics’ latest tool, Shopping Cart Monitor, was specifically designed to meet the new PCI requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1, providing an unhackable solution to attacks on ecommerce sites.

Why Are Miva and SecurityMetrics Partnering?

This partnership is all about giving Miva customers a straightforward, robust solution to address evolving ecommerce security threats and the new PCI DSS v4.0 requirements.

With new requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1, the PCI DSS is trying to help ecommerce sites everywhere that are facing an onslaught of cyber attacks focused on stealing your customers’ payment information during checkout without a trace. With Shopping Cart Monitor, SecurityMetrics is offering one of the only tools available to meet these requirements and protect your checkout process.

The goal is to provide Miva merchants with a specialized, non-intrusive tool to detect and prevent malicious script tampering on payment pages. By working together, Miva and SecurityMetrics are ensuring companies have easy access to a crucial service that helps secure the checkout experience and simplifies compliance with new, complex requirements.

What Are PCI Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1?

These are two new, critical requirements introduced in the latest PCI DSS v4.0 that specifically address the rising threat of ecommerce-focused attacks, like credit card skimming, which target the consumer's browser during the payment process.

These requirements shift the focus from solely securing your server to actively monitoring the code that runs in your customers' browsers.

What Is Shopping Cart Monitor?

Shopping Cart Monitor is a powerful, patented, cloud-based security solution from SecurityMetrics designed specifically to help you comply with PCI Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1.

It uses patented Webpage Integrity Monitoring (WIM) technology to non-intrusively scan your payment pages.

• For 6.4.3: It automatically inventories all JavaScript on your payment page (including third-party scripts) and provides a system for you to authorize and document each one.
• For 11.6.1: It continuously monitors your checkout process for unauthorized modifications or malicious script injections (like credit card skimmers) and provides alerts if a change is detected.

The best part? It's a code-free solution that doesn't require any installation or configuration on your website—you simply provide your URL, and the monitoring is done from the outside, preventing a hacker from tampering with the monitor itself.
