A PCI DSS 4.0 to PCI 3DS Core Security Standard crosswalk, built to order
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which PCI 3DS Core Security Standard controls your existing PCI DSS 4.0 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
This direction has not been through crosswalk review and sign off, so no coverage figure is published for it. Reporting an unreviewed number would be worse than reporting none. It can be built to order at the same price as a pair that is already on the shelf.
If the two frameworks turn out to have too little in common for a crosswalk to help you, we say so and refund it rather than send a number worth nothing.

- Every evidenced control, with the reasoning behind it
- Every gap, with what it requires
- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 37% in the header counts how many PCI DSS 4.0 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many PCI 3DS Core Security Standard controls are actually evidenced, after a pass that argued against each mapping and kept only what survived. They answer different questions and they are not meant to agree.
A crosswalk narrows the work. It does not replace an audit, and your assessor may take a different view on individual controls. Mappings between frameworks are judgements, not text printed in either standard, which is why every claim in the report shows its reasoning. Questions go to support@theartofservice.com.

What are the key differences between PCI DSS 4.0 and PCI 3DS Core Security Standard?
PCI DSS 4.0 has 280 controls across its framework, while PCI 3DS Core Security Standard covers 143 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 103 overlapping controls (37% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Req 12: Information Security Policies, where 28 PCI DSS 4.0 controls have no direct PCI 3DS Core Security Standard equivalent.
How many controls map between PCI DSS 4.0 and PCI 3DS Core Security Standard?
Of 280 total PCI DSS 4.0 controls, 103 map directly to PCI 3DS Core Security Standard controls, representing 37% coverage. The remaining 257 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping PCI DSS 4.0 to PCI 3DS Core Security Standard?
257 PCI DSS 4.0 controls have no direct equivalent in PCI 3DS Core Security Standard. The highest concentration of gaps is in Req 12: Information Security Policies with 28 unmapped controls. These gaps represent areas where additional controls, policies, or documentation must be created to achieve compliance with both frameworks.
Which control domains have the most gaps between PCI DSS 4.0 and PCI 3DS Core Security Standard?
The domain with the highest gap count is Req 12: Information Security Policies (28 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
