Comforte AG and ACI Worldwide have announced a partnership together to accelerate payment modernisation with global PCI DSS v4.0 Compliance.
PCI DSS v3.2.1 will be retired on March 31, 2024, as it will underscore the need for businesses and companies to act swiftly and comply with v4.0 until it comes into full effect on March 31, 2025.
Real-time payments software ACI Worldwide and provider of data-centric security solutions comforte AG will focus on offering customers the needed tools and features to meet the new Payment Cards Industry Data Security Standards v4.0 standard.
The collaboration will enable ACI Worldwide to use comforte AG's data-centric security suite of products, which were tested to be compatible with ACI's service portfolio.
Under this partnership, ACI will use comforte's data-centric security solutions, which ACI has rigorously tested to be compatible with ACI's solutions.
PCI DSS is a global standard that provides a baseline of technical and operational requirements designed to protect sensitive payments data.
This new version fortifies core security principles while providing more flexibility and guidance to help organizations secure account data now and in the future.
Adhering to the new PCI DSS v4.0 standards is not just about compliance but a stride towards payment modernization - offering opportunities for better payment experiences and enabling the adoption of emerging technologies while bolstering protection against cyber threats.
PCI DSS v4.0 requirements for data security at rest move beyond disk-level encryption to protection within applications.
Comforte's Data Security Platform meets this requirement by inserting a protection layer into applications that buffers for tokenization or encryption of sensitive data.
By leveraging standards-based data encryption, tokenization, and masking, the comforte Data Security Platform provides granular audit and control for regulatory compliance without affecting service levels or compromising efficiency.
