Premier BPO achieves highest level of PCI certification
Philippines-based Center meets Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard requirements
- Clarksville, TN-KY (1888PressRelease) August 07, 2018 - Premier BPO, a provider of transformative outsourcing services, announced that its Philippines-based contact center achieved PCI certification Level 1. This is the highest of four categories of certification.
PCI DSS 3.2 Compliance
The PCI Standards are endorsed by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc. As a multifaceted security standard, PCI certification includes requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical protected measures. PCI certification helps minimize the risk of credit card fraud, hacking and other security exposures.
Only 11% of organizations meet all 12 PCI requirements, according to a Verizon compliance report. Premier BPO went through an audit of its controls and processes. PCI certification involves meeting all 12 requirements, broken into 6 sections called “control objectives.”
Premier BPO meets PCI certification within these six control objectives:
1. maintaining a secure network
2. protecting cardholder data
3. maintaining a vulnerability management program
4. implementing Strong Access Control Measures
5. regularly Monitoring and Testing Networks
6. Maintaining an Information Security Policy
“We have always taken great strides at protecting our clients’ and our clients’ clients’ data. We now have a third-party affirmation that gives our customers further assurance.” Said Mark Briggs of Premier BPO.
Typical transactions that benefit from PCI Compliance include:
• Online payment
• Merchant support
• Online banking
• Credit and collections
The primary benefit of a PCI certified outsourcing partner is that client data is secure and there are verified, documented processes and controls in place for processing the end consumer’s financial details such as credit card information.
While retail and e-commerce companies are required to ensure PCI certification, any business that accepts online payments should take care to either implement or work with a PCI certified provider. These also include hospitality, transportation, logistics, and healthcare providers.
