The announcement was formally made by the SISA Information Security on November 15, 2017.
This certification reflects a longstanding culture of discipline and compliance at Software Shop Limited (SSL Wireless) with regard to data security, it reflects the entire team’s relentless focus on ensuring that all of their company’s technical and behavioral practices are in line with the most rigorous industry standards.
The Level 1 compliance designation follows an independent audit conducted by SISA Information Security, a PCI-certified Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) company. In summarizing its onsite assessments, the QSA determined that SSL Wireless “has demonstrated full compliance with the PCI DSS (v3.2).”
The PCI DSS standards were created to ensure the security of credit card transactions and protect cardholders against fraud and misuse of private, personal information. The standards were designed and are maintained by the PCI Security Standards Council, whose founding members are American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard, and Visa Inc.
The PCI DSS Level 1 certification will enable SSLCOMMERZ to launch the first-ever locally made and certified Card-On-File platform in the country. Any type of e-commerce payment, or subscription-based recurring payments, or bill payments, such a utility bill, school fees, mobile recharge, etc. can be executed without needing to enter the card details every time. This will bring greater convenience for the consumers who can complete an online transaction within seconds. It will also facilitate the development of new, more powerful technology products in the Payment card industry to help merchants grow their businesses and engage with their customers better with less time and effort.
SSLCOMMERZ has received numerous awards and recognition from the trade bodies and govt. for its continuous contribution to the Payment industry since its launch.
