With a relentless drive to improve and innovate, in September 2024, Paykit Payment Gateway officially received the PCI DSS v4.0 certification from SISA Information Security. This is the latest version of the international payment data security standard, an upgrade from version 3.2.1, which Paykit had previously attained.

“The PCI DSS v4.0 certification underscores our commitment to safeguarding bank card data and meeting the highest security standards. With this certification, all card transactions processed through Paykit, including Visa, Mastercard, and JCB, are guaranteed absolute safety, ensuring peace of mind for our customers”, said Mr. Nguyen Phan Ngu, Paykit’s Product Director.

PCI DSS v4.0 offers broader security coverage, employing a more modern and pioneering approach compared to version 3.2.1.

The improvements include stricter multi-factor authentication requirements and more complex password protocols, enabling Paykit to better protect cardholder data and customer information. Additionally, this version allows Paykit to regularly update its security measures, effectively counter emerging threats, and maintain optimal safety for every transaction.

Achieving PCI DSS v4.0 not only strengthens the trust of merchants and customers but also opens new opportunities for collaboration with global financial partners. Vidiva, the parent company of Paykit, remains committed to investing in advanced security technologies to ensure that every transaction processed through Paykit is as secure and reliable as possible.
