One of the key challenges for organizations in achieving PCI DSS compliance lies in securely managing sensitive payment data across their infrastructure. The partnership between ACI and comforte AG will focus on addressing this challenge by integrating comforte’s cutting-edge data protection technologies into ACI’s solutions. This integration will enable ACI’s customers to implement robust data-centric security measures, including encryption, tokenization, and data masking, to safeguard payment data at rest, in transit, and in use.

The collaboration will also involve leveraging comforte’s expertise in data discovery and classification, enabling ACI’s customers to gain deep insights into their data environments and effectively identify and protect sensitive information as per PCI DSS requirements.

Through this strategic partnership, ACI Worldwide aims to provide its customers with a comprehensive and scalable solution that not only meets the stringent requirements of PCI DSS 4.0 but also enhances their overall data security posture.

As organizations continue to navigate the complexities of securing payment data in an increasingly digital landscape, partnerships like this are instrumental in driving innovation and enabling secure, frictionless payment experiences.

The roadmap towards achieving PCI DSS 4.0 compliance by March 2025 involves a collaborative approach between ACI Worldwide, comforte AG, and ACI’s customers. Through joint workshops, training sessions, and implementation support, the partners will work closely with organizations to ensure a smooth transition to the new standards while enhancing data protection capabilities across the payment lifecycle.
