24 MAS subsidiary, 24 Solutions has received its accreditation by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
3 June 2010 - The global certification has been created to prevent fraud with credit cards by increasing controls around credit card data and its exposure. 24 Solutions thus meets the requirements of the leading credit card providers Visa, MasterCard and American Express for managed services around the handling and storing of credit card data.
This certification is very extensive with a focus on safety and includes everything from overall policies, procedures, network architecture and software design to detailed requirements as to how passwords are created. 24 Solutions has chosen to certify the entire platform and all customers may therefore benefit from this expanded service. Today there are only a few operational service providers that have this complete PCI DSS certification.
For 24 Solutions which specializes in building and providing tailored solutions with high demands on availability, safety and cost the PCI DSS certification is a further competitive advantage. The company can now offer a complete platform that simplifies and shortens the process for its customers to enter market faster with financial services.
"We are very proud to be one of the first providers to have our entire platform PCI DSS certified. This means that we have the policies, processes and systems in place that is becoming a requirement from more and more customers. A telling proof of this is that today we can announce that we will start a cooperation with Paynova which offers an international full payment service over the Internet,” says Joakim Öhman, CTO of 24 Solutions.
Paynova which markets a complete payment solution that satisfies the most successful e-commerce companies requirements for fraud protection and personal service can now expand their business through cooperation with 24 Solutions. Paynova has previously managed the operation of this platform internally but with increased demands for access, and aims to focus on core business area, it was a natural choice to find an operating partner in this area. The difficulty was to find a supplier that met PCI DSS standards and the high availability requirements but 24 Solutions offerings met all those requirements.
