E-Commerce Platform Achieves PCI DSS Level 1
How nCrypt helped Malaysia's fastest-growing e-commerce platform achieve PCI DSS Level 1 certification, unlocking new payment partnerships and enabling 3x transaction growth.
Scaling Security for Rapid Growth
Our client, one of Malaysia's fastest-growing e-commerce platforms, was processing millions of ringgit in transactions monthly. To expand their payment options and partner with major Malaysian banks, they needed to achieve PCI DSS Level 1 certification—the highest level of payment security compliance.
The platform had grown rapidly, and security had not always kept pace with development. Their microservices architecture spanned multiple cloud providers, with dozens of APIs handling payment data. Achieving PCI DSS compliance would require a comprehensive security transformation.
nCrypt was engaged to assess their current security posture, design a PCI-compliant architecture, and guide them through the certification process while maintaining their rapid development pace.
