PCI DSS 4.0 Compliance
PCI DSS 4.0 change evidence
captured automatically.
Requirement 6.5 demands documented change procedures, reviewed code, and separated environments. MergeWhy captures that proof at merge time for every pull request.
50+ future-dated requirements became mandatory March 2025. Manual evidence won't scale.

Requirement 6.5 Compliance
Documented change procedures, approval evidence, and testing proof — captured automatically from every pull request. No spreadsheets, no screenshots, no manual collection.
Automated Code Review Evidence
Every PR captures reviewer identity, approval state, review comments, and timestamps. QSAs get cryptographic proof that code was reviewed before deployment.
CI/CD Test Evidence
Test pass/fail counts, coverage percentages, and security scan results captured automatically from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or any CI provider. No manual attestation needed.
Separation of Environments
Track which environment each deployment targets with a full attestation chain. Evidence that development, staging, and production are properly separated.
Tamper-Proof Evidence Vault
SHA-256 cryptographic sealing at merge time. Every Decision Evidence Record is sealed immutably. QSAs get cryptographic proof of integrity, not screenshots.
Audit-Ready Export
ZIP bundles with executive summaries, PDF reports, and CSV evidence packages formatted for QSA review. One-click export covers the entire assessment period.
How It Works
Three steps to audit-ready evidence.
Install the GitHub App
Connect your repositories in under 2 minutes. MergeWhy begins capturing change management evidence from your very first PR.
Merge as usual
Developers change nothing about their workflow. Every merge generates a Decision Evidence Record with approvals, reviews, test results, and deployment targets.
Export for your QSA
Generate audit bundles with one click. Per-requirement evidence mapping included. Evidence sealed with SHA-256 for integrity verification.
