The security requirements for payment data apply to companies that store, process, or transmit payment card data. These companies include financial institutions, banks, large marketplaces, retail businesses, gas station networks, HoReCa, and e-commerce platforms.

A focus on security as an ongoing process allows financial organizations using the cloud or physical environments of Data Center “PARKOVYI” to enhance the protection of their payment infrastructure.

Hosting infrastructure in the PCI DSS-certified “PARKOVYI” Data Center significantly simplifies the audit process for companies working with payment card data. By providing a compliance certificate from “PARKOVYI” Data Center, such clients can delegate part of the security requirements to the data center, reducing the volume of checks on their physical or virtual infrastructure and ensuring a secure environment for their data.

Changes in the new PCI DSS version aim to address last year’s threats while strengthening defenses against potential future risks, which is crucial in the context of the ever-growing number of cyber incidents.

The new version of the certificate focuses on protecting e-commerce firewalls, securing payment pages, password replacement processes, vulnerability scanning, multi-factor authentication, data management, and incident response.

“The international PCI DSS standard sets requirements for the protection of payment cardholder data during storage, processing, and transmission. The new revision of the standard provides organizations with flexibility in implementing security measures, allowing them to adapt to the specifics of business processes and technological needs, thereby enhancing payment data protection. The use of cloud services certified under PCI DSS allows delegating part of the security requirements to the data center as a service provider. This provides the client with an additional opportunity to optimize the audit process and ensure the placement of their infrastructure in a secure environment,” summarizes Volodymyr Pokatylov, Director of Data Center “PARKOVYI.”

For financial institutions and banks, Data Center “PARKOVYI” offers reliable cloud solutions or server equipment hosting, with infrastructure and services protected in compliance with PCI DSS 4.0.
