The SecurityMetrics PCI Guide helps you reach PCI compliance with the newest stats, advice, and checklists.
It was a big year for PCI Compliance, with version 3.2.1 retiring in March 2024. Threat actors worked harder than ever to steal sensitive data, with a whopping 1.35 billion people affected by data compromises in 2024.
I believe that payment security has never been more critical, and SecurityMetrics’ 2025 Guide to PCI DSS Compliance makes it easy to protect your customer payment information.
If you work in the data security or compliance world like I do, you’re likely always looking for the best information on protecting your business from cybersecurity threats. I’ve found that while it’s easy to find a myriad of resources on PCI compliance, it’s hard to know which resources are reputable and come from actual experts.
This is why I love the SecurityMetrics PCI guide; actual, certified PCI assessors write it with decades of experience in the industry. I can rest easy knowing that the guide is heavily researched and based on advice from the PCI Security Standards Council.
It can also be difficult to know if you’re getting the latest information on how to become PCI compliant, especially with big changes like the new 4.0.1 version. Luckily, SecurityMetrics updates its PCI guide every year, so I know I’m getting the information that matters now.
Finally, my favorite part of the 2025 guide is that it’s 100% free, so I don’t have to include the cost in my PCI budget.
There’s a lot to love in this year’s PCI Guide, including auditor stories from the field with helpful tips on accomplishing each PCI requirement, proprietary statistics, a breakdown of every PCI 4.0.1 change, and more. Read the 2025 PCI Guide to learn:
Every year, SecurityMetrics gathers important data from customers about their PCI responsibilities, threat attacks they’ve faced, and more. These statistics are then featured in the PCI Guide as helpful infographics so readers can understand the impact of PCI compliance trends in the last year.
Here are some of my favorite infographics featured in this year’s guide:
If you’re not sure you should take my word for how great this year’s guide is, check out these testimonials from readers who have downloaded guides in the past. “I love Security Metrics and their materials because they are written so the non-technical person can understand them.

I highly recommend them and their materials” (Anonymous Subscriber).

“One of the best guides I have read. Very readable and understandable!” (Amie Daner, Geddes Federal Savings and Loans).
“SecurityMetrics is an integral part of the team in our PCI program. We depend on the assessors to make sure that we stay on the compliance track. They do it with developing relationships across campus, discussing upcoming projects or application changes, and being available to us for consulting. They are knowledgeable, helpful and help us keep the campus engaged by their friendly demeanors” (Robbyn Lennon, University of Arizona).
