Meeting all 512 security testing requirements, demonstrates
global standard information management systems as a Global BPO
company
TOKYO, June 27,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- transcosmos is proud to
announce that the company has become the first BPO company in
South Korea to receive a Payment
Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 4.0, the
latest version of PCI DSS, the global credit card security
standards for organizations that handle cardholder data.
PCI DSS is the global card information
security standard, which is established by leading international
credit card companies to protect card member data, reduce the risk
of potential data theft or loss and ensure consistent security
assessment procedures.
PCI DSS is the global card information security standard, which
is established by leading international credit card companies to
protect card member data, reduce the risk of potential data theft
or loss and ensure consistent security assessment procedures. The
PCI DSS defines security requirements to protect environments where
payment account data is transmitted, processed and stored to secure
cardholders' sensitive authentication data in the process of
international credit card transactions and other forms of
card-based payments for purchasing goods and services from global
companies. PCI DSS certification is valid for one year, and an
attestation of compliance requires an annual renewal before the
current certification expires.
transcosmos became the first PCI DSS qualified company in the
South Korean BPO market in 2016. Since then, the company has always
kept all credit card payment procedures and environments in
compliance with global security standards, successfully passing
annual assessment, which continues to become more stringent year
after year. Now, the company's information management system was
certified with the latest credit card security standard PCI DSS
v4.0—the first company to be qualified in the BPO
industry—demonstrating its standing as a global BPO company.

The PCI DSS v4.0 standard consists of 6 goals and 12
requirements, and a total of 512 information security testing
procedures. Version 4.0 is even stricter than the already stringent
version 3.2.1, which included 412 testing procedures. Not only
introducing Multi-Factor Authentication requirements, version 4.0
comes with drastically increased compliance requirements such as
stronger rules on application account management.
transcosmos has cleared all detailed security requirements under
the 6 categories: 1) Build and Maintain a Secure Network and
Systems; 2) Protect Account Data; 3) Maintain a Vulnerability
Management Program; 4) Implement Strong Access Control Measures; 5)
Regularly Monitor and Test Networks; and 6) Maintain an Information
Security Policy. Ultimately, transcosmos won Level 1 Certification,
the highest compliance level under the latest PCI DSS.
