As one of the first African cybersecurity and compliance technology companies to join the Council, Smartcomply will contribute to the development of global PCI Security Standards with operational depth from African markets.
Smartcomply, the African cybersecurity and compliance technology company helping financial institutions automate regulatory compliance, fraud monitoring, and risk management, today announced that it has joined the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) as a new Associate Participating Organization. The move makes Smartcomply one of the first Nigerian companies in the cybersecurity and compliance technology category to formally contribute to the development of the world’s most influential payment data security standards.
The PCI SSC leads a global, cross-industry effort to increase payment security by providing flexible, industry-driven, and effective data security standards. The Council brings together more than 700 Participating Organizations from over 60 countries, including the world’s largest payment networks, financial institutions, and technology providers.
Smartcomply’s membership extends the African voice in this global community. The company’s flagship platforms (Adhere for AML, KYC and fraud detection, and Seequre for GRC and cybersecurity automation) serve more than 100 financial institutions across the continent. Smartcomply was named a verified member of the Mastercard Engage Partner Program earlier this year, and recently expanded into the United Kingdom.
