Vi has achieved Payment Card Industry-Data Security Standard version 4.0 (PCI DSS 4.0) certification, becoming the first telecom operator in the country to do so. This certification, awarded by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), signifies Vi’s adherence to the highest global security protocols designed to prevent data breaches and fraudulent payment transactions.
The PCI DSS 4.0 certification is crucial for organizations handling credit and debit card transactions and is already mandated by the RBI for financial institutions. Vi’s achievement is expected to enhance customer trust and set a new benchmark in the telecom industry.
Siliguri, a key region for Vi, stands to benefit significantly from this certification. Customers in Siliguri can now expect heightened security for their payment transactions, bolstering their confidence in using Vi’s services and reinforcing Vi’s position as a leader in telecom security. Jagbir Singh, CTO of Vi, stated, “Achieving PCI DSS 4.0 underscores our commitment to safeguarding customer data with top-tier security measures. This certification not only boosts customer confidence but also demonstrates our dedication to industry-leading practices.”
