PCI DSS Level 1 Certified
Vantax Pay maintains the highest level of PCI compliance, meeting all requirements for processing over 6 million card transactions annually.
1. What is PCI DSS?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that all companies that accept, process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. Established by the major card brands (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and JCB), PCI DSS protects both businesses and consumers from data breaches and fraud.
Vantax Pay is certified as a PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider, which is the highest level of certification available. This certification requires annual security assessments by qualified security assessors (QSAs) and quarterly network scans by approved scanning vendors (ASVs).
