PCI DSS Compliance
Last updated: 2024-11-25
At 3DMA Ltd., ensuring the security of all your financial transactions and details is a core commitment. We strictly adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) to protect your financial information and provide a secure payment environment on PPCmate X.
Our dedication to maintaining PCI DSS compliance reflects our focus on safeguarding your data against fraud, theft, and unauthorized access during all stages of your interaction with our platform.
Our Security Measures
To ensure robust protection for all transactions, we implement the following measures:
1. Secure Data Transmission (Encryption)
- All payment-related data is encrypted during transmission using the latest SSL/TLS (Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security) protocols.
- This ensures that your information, such as credit card details, cannot be intercepted or accessed by unauthorized parties during data transfer.
2. PCI-Compliant Payment Gateways
- We work exclusively with trusted, PCI DSS-certified third-party payment processors to handle all transactions securely.
- These processors undergo rigorous assessments and audits to ensure their systems meet or exceed PCI DSS standards.
3. Tokenization and Data Masking
- Sensitive cardholder data is tokenized (replaced with non-sensitive tokens) immediately after processing, reducing the risk of exposure.
- Masking ensures that only authorized users can view partial details for legitimate purposes.
4. Restricted Data Access
- Only authorized personnel with a business need-to-know basis have access to sensitive payment information.
- Access is controlled using multi-factor authentication and strict role-based permissions.
5. Physical Security Measures
- Data is stored in secure environments with physical controls, such as biometric access, surveillance systems, and restricted zones in data centers.
6. Fraud Detection and Monitoring
- Advanced tools and systems are used to monitor and detect unusual or suspicious payment activities in real-time.
- Alerts are automatically triggered for anomalies, ensuring swift responses to potential threats.
7. Regular Audits and Penetration Testing
- Routine security audits, vulnerability scans, and penetration tests are conducted to identify and mitigate any potential weaknesses.
- Compliance checks are performed by independent PCI DSS Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs).
8. Secure Storage Practices
- Cardholder data is never stored beyond what is required by law or operational necessity.
- Sensitive authentication data (e.g., CVV codes) is never stored post-authorization.
9. Continuous Compliance Updates
- We stay updated with the latest PCI DSS standards and implement changes proactively to meet evolving compliance requirements.
- Employee training programs ensure all staff members understand and adhere to data security practices.

4. Avoid Public Networks
- Never enter payment details when connected to public Wi-Fi networks without a secure VPN.
