Why PCI DSS Certification Matters

Robust Fraud Prevention

By achieving PCI DSS certification, WhiteBIT ensures that it employs cutting-edge security practices like encryption, tokenization, access controls, and monitoring for payment card data. This proactive approach significantly mitigates the risks associated with data breaches and cybercrime.

Protecting Your Privacy

WhiteBIT manages card data with the utmost care, complying with the best practices in the industry to protect and maintain the privacy of clients' sensitive information.

Diverse and Trusted Payment Solutions

WhiteBIT's PCI DSS certification enables it to support multiple secure payment methods, including bank cards from different networks. This certification also affirms that all payment providers associated with WhiteBIT comply with these established security protocols.

Standing and Trustworthiness

This certification validates that WhiteBIT meets international security benchmarks, solidifying its appeal to partners and investors worldwide.

Fostering Customer Confidence

With PCI DSS certification, clients feel safe using their bank cards, knowing their data is protected. This assurance allows them to focus entirely on analyzing their investments without security worries.

Steps to Achieve PCI DSS Certification

WhiteBIT needs to pass an annual independent audit to uphold its PCI DSS certification, assessing compliance with the 12 fundamental security principles. This audit is exclusively handled by an accredited external organization.

Additionally, WhiteBIT performs external breach testing of its platform to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities.

Understanding PCI DSS

PCI DSS, which stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, is an international standard in payment security, ensuring the safeguarding of cardholder information.

Developed by the five leading payment companies—Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and JCB—the standard ensures the highest level of data security in the industry.

PCI DSS encompasses over 300 criteria addressing various elements of information security, structured around 12 essential principles. The certification is split into four levels, defined by the annual transaction volume. Securing the highest certification is a clear validation of the dedication to providing a secure environment for customer transactions.
