PTCL gets certification

KARACHI: Pakistan Telecommunications Company Limited (PTCL) has attained Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCIDSS) certification v3.2 for its Infrastructure-As-A-Service (IaaS) offering - PTCL Smart Cloud, a statement said on Wednesday.

PCI DSS certification is a landmark achievement for PTCL Smart Cloud services, which assures maximum security compliance as per the international standards, it added.

Pakistan’s first SDN-enabled cloud infrastructure is now the country’s most secure enterprise grade cloud platform. In today’s digital age, the primary concern for any organisation while moving towards cloud is the security of their mission critical data, it added.

PTCL’s IaaS Cloud Services run on two locally hosted tier-3 certified datacenters, which itself is a guarantee of optimal security.

PTCL Cloud services achieved this certification after a vigorous evaluation by Risk Associates Europe Limited, whereby Smart Cloud services have been found compliant to all international security standards, it added.
