Karachi: For the first time in Pakistan, Rapid Compute \u2013 a division of Cybernet, has made it possible for businesses to create their own Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) that can store, transmit or process cardholder data securely on the Cloud.
\nNow, when organizations utilize RapidCompute for any of its services, they are partnering with one of the best enterprises in the industry. The company is the first and only cloud-hosting provider in the country to achieve PCIDSS 3.2, as well as ISO27001:2013 certified service provider status. This is the most rigorous status in the industry and thus empowers Pakistani organizations, especially from the FinTech space, to finally reap the immense flexibility and efficiency of a local cloud provider.
\nFrom customers to merchants and financial institutions, the security of cardholder data affects everybody. Meeting vigilant security standards is essential for keeping a company\u2019s sensitive financial information safe. The PCIDSS is a global organization that maintains, evolves and promotes Payment Card Industry standards for the safety of cardholder data across the globe. It is the chief information security standard regulated by the worlds\u2019 leading credit card companies that include American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard and Visa. It is designed to prevent fraud through increased control of credit card data.
\nAccording to the Division Head, Mr. Zaeem Arshad, \u201cRapidCompute\u2019s infrastructure is not the top concern we have. Our datacenters are already built on the highest design standards. This allows the company to focus on valuable industry certifications like the ISO 27001:2013, Cloud Security Alliance and now PCIDSS to ensure that our processes, procedures and all facets of services are up to international security and availability benchmarks. Local companies now have a cloud vendor that can fulfill their demand of storing and managing data on a secure, reliable and compliant platform.\u201d
\nAccording to Mr. Danish Lakhani – CEO of Cybernet; \u201cThis solution can help meet the demand for a higher level of financial security in the country. We understand the immense responsibility of hosting mission-critical data on our cloud. In an age of increasingly sophisticated system attacks, the PCIDSS certification is an organization\u2019s best protection against network security threats and data breaches.\u201d
\nMr. Zaeem Arshad also added that by moving to the RapidCompute cloud, organizations can eliminate the associated efforts and costs of getting their own PCIDSS certification. \u201cOur four multi-regional, locally hosted, state-of-the-art data centers also let customers choose exactly where they can place their data. These PCIDSS certified data centers provide our clients with secure, dependable hosting environments and the best-in-class customer support services.
\nWe believe that everyone should reap the benefits of hosting with a trustworthy, local cloud provider. Because of certifications like these, RapidCompute now boasts an impressive diverse base of clients including those from FMCGs, Startups, Pharmaceuticals, Education, Financial Institutions and Government institutions. \u201d
\nTo mark the completion of the certification, an official signing ceremony took place between RapidCompute and the Australian-based certification firm Risk Associates. Dr. Aftab Rizvi, CEO of the firm congratulated the RapidCompute team for acquiring the integral certification; he said \u201cSecurity is fast becoming the top concern among organizations worldwide. We\u2019re glad RapidCompute has achieved the milestone of becoming the first PCIDSS certified Cloud vendor.
\nThe company has demonstrated their commitment to keeping their customers\u2019 data secure at the highest level by complying with the latest security standards and certifications.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
