The PCI Security Standards Council is a global organization that maintains, evolves and promotes PCI standards for the safety of cardholder data worldwide.

Servadus provides tools that support the PCI Data Security Standards (DSS) and Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) and Customer Security Programme (CSP) in order to equip clients with multiple options for implementing, managing and continuously validating the state of security and risks associated with emerging threats.
As a QSA company, Servadus can now consult clients more effectively by helping companies understand and implement standards for security policies, technologies and ongoing processes that protect their payment systems from breaches and theft of cardholder data; as well as help vendors understand and implement standards for creating secure payment solutions.
"Companies across the globe are on high alert as breaches become more and more prevalent due to the competitive nature between hackers and their ability to capture and hijack data, resulting in high, easy payouts from ransomware. Now, more than ever, these organizations are looking to professionals to ensure their systems are safe and their customers are protected," says Ron Tosto, founder and CEO, Servadus. "As a QSA company, Servadus is able to guide clients in the right direction, ensuring they are following the best practices when it comes to securing electronic payments, and securing the trust of their customers."
