  • Before starting a new feature touching payment data
  • When preparing for a security review or audit
  • After a third-party SDK vulnerability is disclosed
  • During compliance training refresh cycles

Before vs. after

Before
Interpreting PCI DSS requirements reactively, relying on security teams to flag issues late in the development cycle
After
Proactively designing iOS features with compliance built-in, leading secure implementation discussions across teams
