TOKYO, JAPAN —  Transcosmos has announced a significant achievement, becoming the first business process outsourcing (BPO) company in South Korea to receive the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 4.0 certification. 

This milestone underscores transcosmos’ commitment to maintaining the highest standards of information security in the handling of cardholder data.

Understanding PCI DSS v4.0: Enhanced security measures

The PCI DSS is a globally recognized security standard established by major international credit card companies to protect cardholder data and reduce the risk of data breaches. 

The latest version, PCI DSS v4.0, includes 512 security testing procedures, an increase from the 412 procedures in the previous version 3.2.1. This new version introduces stricter requirements, including enhanced Multi-Factor Authentication and stronger application account management rules.

Transcosmos has successfully met all the detailed security requirements under the six categories defined by PCI DSS v4.0:

  1. Build and Maintain a Secure Network and Systems
  2. Protect Account Data
  3. Maintain a Vulnerability Management Program
  4. Implement Strong Access Control Measures
  5. Regularly Monitor and Test Networks
  6. Maintain an Information Security Policy

Transcosmos first achieved PCI DSS certification in the South Korean BPO market in 2016. Since then, the company has consistently maintained compliance with global security standards, passing annual assessments that have become increasingly stringent. 

The recent certification with PCI DSS v4.0 further solidifies transcosmos’ position as a leader in the global BPO industry.

Adapting to South Korea’s evolving payment landscape

As South Korea’s credit card payment environment continues to evolve rapidly, transcosmos remains at the forefront, adapting to new challenges and ensuring the highest levels of data security. 

The company aims to provide clients and consumers worldwide with information security services that are always ahead of the curve.

With a workforce of around 10,000 people, transcosmos Korea supports over 350 clients with a range of BPO services tailored to various industries. These services include IT solutions development, e-commerce, digital marketing, field services, contact center management, and more. 

By optimizing services for each client, transcosmos Korea helps businesses reduce costs, increase sales, and enhance customer satisfaction.
