Semafone, the leading provider of data security and compliance solutions for call and contact centers, announced that it has achieved global certification under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard for its omnichannel digital payments solution, Cardprotect Relay+.

Semafone has also been named on the Visa Global Registry of Service Providers demonstrating its ability to adhere to strict, updated and ongoing PCI DSS compliance, while upholding a strong defense against cardholder data compromise by supporting secure technologies such as point-to-point encryption and tokenization.

"By certifying our company and both our voice and omnichannel payment solutions with the most rigorous security standards available across the globe, we continue to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to data security best practices; achieving the highest level of certification from the PCI Security Standards Council across all channels," said Gary E. Barnett, Chief Executive Officer, Semafone.

Because the data never enters the merchant businesses' network infrastructure, the risk of a brand-damaging data breach or fraud occurring is significantly reduced and PCI DSS compliance is dramatically simplified.

With more than 5,000 data breaches exposing nearly 8 billion sensitive records in 2019, and the total cost of a data breach averaging $8.2 million for U.S. companies, it is now more important than ever for organizations to have the highest levels of data security to protect their customers' PII. "In addition to helping strengthen data security, by achieving these certifications, we also help our customers and partners reduce the number of PCI DSS requirements that they must validate against," said Barnett.
