Elavon and Jscrambler Partner to Strengthen PCI DSS Compliance for Merchants
More Than 400 Merchants Within the Network Gain Access to Jscrambler's Leading Client-Side Protection for Skimming Prevention and Compliance MINNEAPOLIS and PORTO, Portugal, May 7, 2025 /CNW/ -- Elavon, a global leader in payment processing, and Jscrambler, a pioneer in client-side protection and compliance, today announced a partnership to help merchants comply with PCI DSS requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1. Through this agreement, Elavon's network of more than 400 merchants can leverage Jscrambler's Client-Side Protection and Compliance Platform to safeguard their business from escalating web skimming attacks. The client-side protection market is growing rapidly due to significant rises in web skimming attacks, including Magecart attacks, that target payment pages and cardholder data. According to a report from Recorded Future's Insikt Group, Magecart infections surged by 103% over the first half of 2024. As a result, the e-commerce and payment industries face increasing pressure to secure client-side environments, driven by the escalation ign attacks and also PCI DSS requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1, which mandate script inventory management and tamper detection. Using Jscrambler's Client-Side Protection and Compliance Platform and PCI DSS solution, merchants can meet PCI DSS requirements while preventing web skimming attacks, securing payment pages, and maintaining compliance efficiently. Now, through this collaboration, the two companies combine Elavon's extensive experience as a global leader in payment processing with Jscrambler's innovative technologies to address the critical need for robust payment security. "Our vast network of merchants is increasingly aware of the growing threats targeting payment pages and the growing urgency to take action by following the guidance set forth by PCI DSS and specifically requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1," said Andrew McCarroll, PCIP Customer Payment Security Executive, Elavon. "By partnering with Jscrambler, Elavon is offering merchants easy access to Jscrambler's PCI DSS solution. Built on Jscrambler's decade of client-side security experience and its role as a trusted PCI SSC advisor, the solution secures payment environments so merchants can fend off skimming attacks and ensure ongoing customer trust." Jscrambler's PCI DSS solution delivers the following capabilities: Script Management: Auto-discovers and authorizes payment page scripts, reducing manual approvals by grouping vendor behaviors. Skimming Prevention: Blocks unauthorized data access in real-time, protecting against web skimming and formjacking. Tamper Detection: Monitors HTTP headers and page content, alerting on unauthorized changes via email, SIEM, or Slack. Hybrid Architecture: Supports agentless and agent-based deployment for flexibility, enabling rapid compliance for complex or acquired payment pages. PCI DSS Expertise: Provides direct access to former PCI Security Standards Council members and a strong bench of PCI DSS experts. QSA Alliance Program: Provides access to enablement sessions, assessor forums, and inventory reports to streamline audits. "As attackers increase their focus on merchants' payment pages, Elavon is not only raising awareness, it's taking action to help deliver solutions to mitigate these damaging attacks," said Carlos Gonçalves, VP of Partnerships & Growth at Jscrambler. "Their trust in our PCI DSS compliance expertise and our innovative platform will enable us to bring Jscrambler's industry-leading client-side protection to Elavon's merchants, strengthening their payment security and the larger digital payment ecosystem." On May 20, Jscrambler and Elavon will be hosting a webinar titled "Mastering PCI DSS Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1: Practical Solutions for Merchant Compliance", where executives will delve into the value of the partnership in greater detail while providing additional insights on PCI DSS v4.0.1 requirements and Jscrambler's PCI DSS solution.
