PAYM8 validated PCI DSS compliant by Trustwave

PCI DSS is the payment card industry security requirement for entities that store, process or transmit cardholder data, and has been endorsed by all the major card brands - Visa Inc., MasterCard Worldwide, Discover Network, American Express and JCB.

As a leader in mobile commerce payments and financial collections, PAYM8 had to demonstrate compliance by thoroughly reviewing its physical access controls, IT environment and information security policies and procedures. To maintain their compliance, PAYM8 has enrolled in Trustwave's on-demand compliance management solution, TrustKeeper® to access the necessary tools to support on-going compliance such as quarterly network vulnerability scans.

"By leveraging Trustwave's leading scanning technology and consulting services, we were able to secure our network environment while also validating compliance with the PCI DSS," says Morné Smit, Operations Executive at PAYM8. "PAYM8 has a "minimise risk" approach on everything that we do. We do not compromise on the PCI DSS Requirements."

"Validating compliance with the PCI DSS is a critical first step for PAYM8 to help protect customer information," says Andy Bokor, executive director of EMEA and APAC for Trustwave. "Adding an additional layer of security with managed SIEM will allow PAYM8 to focus on their business while Trustwave manages their log data to further protect their organisation."
