VNPAY services receive the highest-level PCI DSS international security certificates for six consecutive years

On December 16, VNPAY was granted the PCI DSS 4.0.1 certification by international assessment organisation Control Case for six services, including Cloud, Payment Gateway, SmartPOS, VNTAP-HCE, Tap to Phone, and PhonePOS. The services met all 12 core security requirements under the global Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, as issued by the PCI Security Standards Council.

VNPAY has earned the highest-level PCI DSS certification since 2020, for six straight years, keeping pace with ongoing updates to the standard. To maintain this certification, VNPAY’s services must comply with 12 principles, meet more than 250 stringent requirements on information security and data management, and fully satisfy six security goals in line with PCI DSS standards: Build and maintain a secure network; Protect cardholder data; Maintain a vulnerability management programme; Implement strong access control measures; Regularly monitor and test networks; and maintain an information security policy.

Tran Manh Cuong, deputy CEO of VNPAY, said, “The attainment of the highest-level PCI DSS 4.0.1 certification demonstrates VNPAY’s long-term commitment to building and maintaining security systems in line with international standards. VNPAY will continue to improve and enhance its security standards with a view to maximising customer data protection and contributing to a safe and sustainable digital payment ecosystem.”

The PCI DSS certificate is a mandatory information security standard for all businesses that store, process, or transmit payment card data. The standard is managed by five international payment organisations, namely Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JCB.

PCI DSS 4.0.1 is a security standard encompassing a rigorous and stringent set of requirements to ensure the protection of cardholder data throughout the storage, processing, and transmission through technical, procedural, and human control measures.
