The local startup PCI Checklist, which evaluates the cyber security of e-commerce sites that are member merchants on behalf of banks and payment institutions, has become a member of the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, which sets the standards for the card payment industry worldwide. PCI Checklist will globally develop and provide solutions to the cyber security risk and compliance strategy it has developed so far.
The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, which was established in 2006 by payment system giants such as Visa, Mastercard and American Express, to address the risks of increasing cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the payment ecosystem, has included PCI Checklist. The PCI Checklist, which measures the cyber security risks of banks, payment institutions, member merchants and e-commerce sites, will provide global solutions to new threats that may occur in the future with this membership.
“We believe it will accelerate our European and Middle Eastern expansions”
PCI Checklist Co-Founder and CEO Kivanc Harputlu made an assessment on the subject: “An important reason behind our rapid growth and success as PCI Checklist is our strong business partnerships. Being a member of the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, which includes the most important players of the sector in the world, is a very important development for us. We will cooperate with other relevant stakeholders in the development of online payment security and PCI Security Standards globally. Established by card manufacturers such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and the leaders of the financial security industry, the Council designs and implements up-to-date strategies on payment security in the light of emerging threats. We will be more active as part of the PCI Council in the global implementation of PCI Security Standards. We will discuss our own experience, work and best practices with the PCI Council and community. We will contribute to the provision of solutions by developing our cyber security risk and compliance strategy globally, which we have developed for member merchants, which are the weakest link in online payment system security. We believe that this development will accelerate our expansion in the European and Middle Eastern markets.”
