Datatel, a leader in innovative payment and financial technology, announced today that it has joined the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) as a new Associate Participating Organization. Datatel will work with the PCI SSC to help secure payment data worldwide through the ongoing development and adoption of the PCI Security Standards.

The PCI SSC leads a global, cross-industry effort to increase payment security by providing flexible, industry-driven, and effective data security standards and programs. Global industry collaboration is critical to this mission. The Council’s Participating Organizations program brings together industry leaders to strategize about how to protect payment data from the latest threats and to anticipate the needs of an ever-changing payment ecosystem.

As an Associate Participating Organization, Datatel adds its voice to the standards development process and will collaborate with a growing community to improve payment security worldwide. Datatel will also have the opportunity to recommend new initiatives for consideration to the PCI Security Standards Council and share cross-sector experiences and best practices at the annual PCI Community Meetings.

“In an era of increasingly sophisticated attacks on systems, PCI Security Standards and resources help organizations secure payment data and prevent, detect and mitigate attacks that can lead to costly data breaches,” said Gina Gobeyn, Executive Director of the PCI Security Standards Council. “By joining as an Associate Participating Organization, Datatel has the opportunity to play an active part in improving payment security globally by helping drive awareness and adoption of PCI Security Standards.”

“We are thrilled to join the PCI Security Standards Council as an Associate Participating Organization. This partnership underscores Datatel’s relentless commitment to advancing payment security worldwide. We believe that collaboration across industries is crucial in addressing the complex challenges of today’s digital payment landscape. As we contribute to the development and adoption of PCI Security Standards, we are eager to share our insights and learn from our peers. Together, we can forge a more secure future for payment systems globally, ensuring trust and safety for businesses and consumers alike.” Said Barnard Crespi, Datatel’s Co-CEO
