A24 Achieves PCI DSS 4.0.1 Certification, Demonstrating Commitment to Data Security and HSM best practice.
A24 is pleased to announce achievement of re-certification based on the current PCI DSS version 4.0.1 for its HSMaaS. This latest certification validates A24’s ongoing commitment to providing a secure HSM environment for processing payments data.
PCI DSS version 4.0.1 is a limited revision with updated and clarified guidance for requirements, to PCI DSS version 4.0’s comprehensive set of security standards designed to protect cardholder data from unauthorised access, theft, and fraud. A24 has been re-certified for compliance with focus on the following key requirements:
Requirement 6: Develop and maintain secure systems and software: A24 has implemented robust security measures to protect its systems and software from vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors.
Requirement 8: Identify users and authenticate access to system components: A24 has implemented strong authentication procedures to ensure that only authorised individuals have access to sensitive systems and data.
Requirement 12: Information security policies and programs: A24 has developed and implemented comprehensive information security policies and programs supporting customers, that cover all aspects of its data security operations.
Additional benefits of PCI DSS 4.0.1 certification for A24 and its customers include:
Reduced risk of data breaches and financial loss
Improved customer confidence and trust in A24
Enhanced regulatory compliance
N.B. PCI DSS v4.0 will be retired on December 31, 2024 and PCI DSS v4.0.1 will be the active version of the standard supported by PCI SSC from January 01, 2025.
A24 is proud to be a PCI DSS 4.0.1 certified organisation, that has achieved re-certification to the new standard ahead of the December 31, 2024 deadline, and demonstrates our commitment to data security and maintaining the highest standards of security and payment data protection.
