eHosting DataFort (eHDF) announced that they have attained the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) compliance certification. The company claims to have achieved this feet after being accredited with ISO 9001, 20000, 22301, 27001 and CSA STAR security certifications.
With this certification under its belt, the company expects to extend its PCI compliant services for e-commerce businesses, banks, financial services, insurance and others organisations dealing with Card storing and processing environments as now they can now meet the compliance standards too.
The PCI security standard dictates a set of comprehensive requirements for “enhancing payment account data security” such as credit card numbers, names, addresses, email, etc. It was developed by the founding members of the PCI Security Standards Council, including American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide, and Visa Inc., to help facilitate the broad adoption of consistent data security measures on a global basis.
“We see clients struggle with PCI compliance adherence which made us realize there exists a genuine market concern that needed a feasible solution. eHDF’s clients can now leverage our PCI DSS compliance and easily empower themselves to get PCI compliant. This adds yet another layer of security to the customer’s data.” said Yasser Zeineldin, CEO at eHosting DataFort.
“Today, more and more organizations want to engage with hosting partners who meet data security and other regulatory requirements even if they are not bound by them. Being able to demonstrate PCI compliance is what sets us apart from our competition. It is evident that when customers invest in time and expenses to achieve compliance, they expect the same of their service providers. They also need us to demonstrate high levels of controls implemented to safeguard their data in a secure and consistent manner and abide by regulatory mandates,” added Zeineldin.
