Leading telecom operator Vi has announced a significant achievement by attaining the Payment Card Industry-Data Security Standard version 4.0 (PCI DSS 4.0) certification for its retail stores & payment channels. This positions Vi as the first telecom operator in India to secure this prestigious certification, further highlighting its commitment to safeguard customer payment information through adherence to the highest global security standards.
PCI DSS 4.0, established by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), represents the most rigorous and up-to-date security protocols designed to protect organisations handling credit and debit card transactions from data breaches and fraud. Jagbir Singh, CTO, Vi, said, “At Vi, the security of our customers’ data is not just a priority, it is our commitment.
Achieving PCI DSS 4.0 demonstrates our commitment to having the best security measures in place.”Vi’s commitment to data security is further underlined by its earlier distinction this year, as the first telecom operator in India to achieve SOC2 Type II attestation. With the addition of the PCI DSS 4.0 certification, Vi continues to solidify its leadership in the telecom industry, consistently focusing on protecting its customers’ data and setting new standards for best security practices in the industry.
