Staying PCI DSS compliant isn’t a one-time event, it’s an ongoing commitment with activities happening daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually. A newer category, introduced with v4.0 and carried forward in v4.0.1, covers activities whose frequency is set by the entity through a documented Targeted Risk Analysis (TRA) rather than fixed by the standard. Missing any of these periodic requirements can result in audit findings, remediation costs, and potential compliance failures. Whether you’re a merchant managing your own compliance or working with a QSA, understanding the rhythm of PCI DSS is essential. This guide breaks down every periodic activity required by PCI DSS v4.0.1, organized by frequency (including TRA-defined activities) to help you build a sustainable compliance calendar.
