PCI-DSS 4.0 requires SAST in CI/CD. Hyrax closes the findings.
PCI-DSS 4.0 mandates SAST in your pipeline.
Most teams have the scanner. Not the closed loop.
PCI-DSS 4.0 Req 6.2 requires secure coding practices including automated scanning for all in-scope payment systems. Finding vulnerabilities is only half the requirement.

The scanner finds it.
The sprint backlog holds it.
You have 30 days to fix critical payment vulnerabilities.
PCI-DSS 4.0 Req 6.3.3 requires all payment system software to be protected from known vulnerabilities. Req 6.4 specifies critical vulnerabilities must be remediated within one month of discovery. When findings queue behind sprint cycles, that clock runs whether or not a ticket has been picked up.
PCI-DSS v4.0, Requirements 6.3.3 and 6.4 (PCI Security Standards Council, 2022)
Magecart averages 200 days on a checkout page before detection.
PCI-DSS 4.0 Req 6.4.3 requires every script on a payment page to be authorized, inventoried, and integrity-verified with Subresource Integrity hashes. Magecart attacks compromise analytics, chat, and recommendation scripts loaded on checkout pages. The average dwell time before detection is 200-300 days.

Every payment code change needs a documented approval trail.
SOX IT General Controls require segregation of duties and documented change management for all systems affecting financial reporting. PCI-DSS 4.0 Req 6.5 requires change and tamper-detection mechanisms on payment pages checked at least weekly. Manual PR review with no structured evidence trail fails both.
SOX Section 404; PCI-DSS v4.0, Req 6.5 (PCI SSC, 2022).
PCI-DSS 4.0 compliance at the code level.
Not just at the process level.
30-day remediation window
- Hyrax executes fixes autonomously. Findings do not wait for sprint allocation.
- Every fix is a PR with full attribution: finding, fix, test results, merge timestamp.
- Continuous scanning means findings surface on day 1, not at quarterly review.
Payment page script integrity
- Governance rules enforce SRI hash requirements on external scripts loaded in payment flows.
- Deterministic scanner patterns detect missing Content-Security-Policy headers and unauthorized script sources.
- Scans run continuously. A new script added without authorization surfaces immediately, not 200 days later.
Change management evidence
- Every Hyrax fix is a PR linked to its finding: finding ID, fix diff, test suite results, approval, merge.
- Hyrax produces a complete, timestamped audit trail for every autonomous change to in-scope code.
- Segregation of duties: Hyrax opens the PR; a human approves and merges. Requester and approver are always different.
What PCI-DSS 4.0 requires
at the code level.
| Requirement | What it mandates | Hyrax |
|---|---|---|
| Req 6.2 | Secure coding practices including SAST for all in-scope payment systems | Continuous SAST-grade scanning with autonomous fix execution |
| Req 6.3.3 | All software protected from known vulnerabilities | Deterministic vulnerability scanner with PR-based remediation |
| Req 6.4 | Critical vulnerabilities remediated within 1 month | Findings surface immediately; fixes execute without sprint queue |
| Req 6.4.3 | All payment page scripts authorized, inventoried, SRI-verified | Governance rules enforce SRI requirements on every change |
| Req 6.5 | Change and tamper-detection on payment pages, checked weekly | Continuous scanning; every change produces an audit-linked PR |

Common questions
from fintech security teams.
Hyrax's Audit workflow runs multi-agent scanning across in-scope payment code. SAST-grade coverage includes security vulnerabilities, injection patterns, and convention violations. It produces findings and closes them autonomously. Whether it satisfies your QSA's specific interpretation of Req 6.2 depends on your assessment scope. Review the output with your QSA before the assessment window.
Every finding Hyrax surfaces and every fix it executes is logged as a PR with a complete audit trail: finding type, severity, code diff, test results, approver, merge timestamp. This produces the change management documentation Req 6.5 requires without any additional tooling.
Snyk and SonarQube find vulnerabilities. The finding goes into a queue. Hyrax closes the queue: autonomous fix execution, 13-step verification before merge, Linear ticket lifecycle closure. The scanner is the detection layer; Hyrax is the remediation layer.
Yes. SOX IT General Controls require documented change requests, approval from both business and technical stakeholders, segregation of duties, and deployment audit logs. Every Hyrax fix is a PR. It cannot self-merge. The developer or lead who merges it is the approving party. The finding, fix, and merge event are all logged.
Hyrax supports JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby, and Java. PCI-DSS in-scope frontend code (checkout pages, payment forms) in JavaScript/TypeScript is fully supported.
