Payment Platform Security: What ISO 27001, PCI DSS and SOC 2 Tell You
When a platform handles your company's payments, security is not optional. Certificates are a useful signal, but they mean more once you know what each one covers.
ISO/IEC 27001
An international standard for managing information security: how an organisation identifies risks and controls them.
PCI DSS
The payment card industry's standard for protecting card data wherever it is stored, processed or sent.
SOC 2 Type II
An independent report on how a service's controls for security and related areas worked over a period of time.
What else to ask
- Where is payment data stored?
- Who can see it inside the vendor?
- What happens if something goes wrong, and how will you be told?
- Can you see an audit trail of what the platform did?
How OmniCard fits
