ePLDT announced that its premiere VITRO Data Center in Makati City recently received the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) Version 3.2 certification, an international accreditation given to merchants and service providers who passed the security standards set by the PCI Security Standards Council in protecting cardholder data.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

PCI-DSS applies to all entities that store, process, and\/or transmit cardholder data, covering technical and operational system components included in or connected to sensitive cardholder information.<\/span><\/p>\n

Compliance with the PCI-DSS alleviates the vulnerabilities that come with the whole card-processing ecosystem that includes point-of-sale devices, wireless hotspots, transmission of cardholder data to service providers, personal computers or servers, and systems operated by service providers and acquirers that maintain relationships with merchants that accept payment cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe booming e-commerce market is fueling credit card transactions all around the world, which, at the same time, exposes risks to cardholders, banking institutions and enterprises involved in the process. Given that today\u2019s cyber criminals are more intelligent and more sophisticated, traditional perimeter-based cyber security protocols are not enough to protect the business,\u201d said Nerisse Ramos, ePLDT chief operating officer.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cOur new certification only proves that customers can be confident in hosting their critical applications in our data\u00a0<\/span>center in Makati without worrying about credit card fraud and other online threats that evolve by the day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

VITRO Makati is the second ePLDT data center to receive the PCI-DSS version 3.2 certification.\u00a0Last year, VITRO Pasig was certified for version 3.1 and was recently upgraded to 3.2.\u00a0The two data centers were assessed and certified based on the international standard\u2019s established guidelines on physical space, data storage and security profiles.<\/span><\/p>\n

VITRO Makati has a maximum capacity of 3, 584 racks sitting on a nearly two-hectare property. It is the first data center to be awarded with the ANSI\/TIA-942 Rated 3 Design Certificate, which\u00a0emphasizes the redundancy design of the data centers to ensure the highest availability during unplanned maintenance and infrastructure expansion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, VITRO Makati is recognized by NTT Communications as Nexcenter-compliant for adopting its data center design practices and management experience. This allows clients to experience the same international standards applied on all 140 Nexcenter facilities in 84 cities of 19 countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

VITRO Makati is operated and maintained by professionals who are guided by ISO standards such as Quality Management System (ISO 9001:2008), Business Continuity Management System (ISO 22301:2013), Information Security Management System (27001:2013), IT Services Management System (20000-1:2011), and Environmental Management System (14001:2004).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cVITRO Makati is strongly positioned to be the first financial data center in the country given its certifications, design standards, proximity to the business district and robust infrastructure,\u201d said Jovy Hernandez, SVP and head of PLDT Enterprise. \u201cWith the PCI-DSS certification in place, we can enable a stronger and more secure foundation for the digital enterprise in ensuring their continuous success now and in the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
