January 27, 2025
We’re excited to share that Maksu is now PCI DSS 4.0 certified! This achievement reflects our strong commitment to keeping payment data secure and ensuring the highest level of security for our Merchants and their customers.
Providing best-in-class payment solutions for our Merchants is at the core of our mission, and this latest, most robust version of the PCI DSS framework (v4.0) is a logical step to stay ahead of evolving security challenges—standards we are proud to meet.
This certification is a major milestone for Maksu, and its rapid achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and relentless work of our team and the trust of our partners. By achieving this certification, we reinforce our promise to provide secure and seamless payment solutions while building a strong foundation for our continued journey as a trusted Payment Service Provider.
But what exactly is PCI DSS 4.0 Certification, and what does it mean for Merchants?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that companies handle credit card information securely. Version 4.0, the most recent update, focuses on maintaining robust data security while adapting to evolving cybersecurity threats that businesses face today.
Achieving this certification means that Maksu has successfully passed rigorous assessments to guarantee that we meet the highest industry standards in protecting payment transactions.
PCI DSS certification means enhanced security and compliance for our merchants, offering several key benefits:
- Stronger Protection and Security: Every payment is protected by enterprise-grade security, ensuring that the Merchant’s business and customers are shielded from data breaches and fraud.
- Seamless, Secure Payments: PCI DSS 4.0 certification ensures that our payment solutions are secure, but also efficient—delivering fast, smooth transactions that keep Merchants’ businesses moving forward. This ultimately improves operational efficiency and enhances the customer experience.
- Future-Proof Compliance: As the payments industry evolves, PCI DSS Certification 4.0 ensures Maksu is ahead of new security requirements and challenges, helping Merchants maintain compliance with minimal disruption. This reduces compliance risks and allows Merchants to focus on what matters most – growing your business.
At Maksu, we understand that businesses depend on maintaining customer trust. By aligning with the highest industry standards and achieving PCI DSS 4.0 Certification, we’re not just protecting the payment data of our Merchants—we’re also empowering them to stay at the forefront of compliance. We provide the tools necessary to safeguard Merchants’ businesses, keeping them away from security risks.
