This version is widely regarded as the most secure and up-to-date standard in the industry. With this achievement, SCT continues its commitment to ensuring top-level security for its clients’ sensitive data.
What is PCI-DSS?
PCI-DSS is an international security framework aimed at protecting payment card data. It establishes strict requirements across 12 security categories to help prevent data theft, unauthorized access, and cyber threats. Companies that deal with payment card transactions must comply with these standards to ensure that their operations are secure.
Achieving PCI-DSS certification is a major accomplishment for any payment service provider. It demonstrates that SCT’s systems, networks, and data management practices meet the highest security standards. This certification enhances SCT’s credibility and reassures its clients that their payment data is well protected.
Why PCI-DSS Certification Matters

Enhanced Trust with Clients: Customers feel more secure when they know their payment information is protected by industry-leading security measures.
Better Transparency: Adhering to PCI-DSS guidelines promotes transparency in the company’s payment processes, giving customers confidence in the company’s practices.
