Tanmeyah, a subsidiary of EFG Holding, and a leading provider of financial services in Egypt, has received a prestigious certification that recognises its steadfast commitment to ensuring the security and protection of cardholder data in alignment with global data security standards.

Tanmeyah, with a concerted focus on micro-enterprise segments, received the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) certification from Network Intelligence Company – a globally recognised security framework.

It protects its customers from potential data breaches and streamlines its security practices, making operations as efficient as possible.

This certification helps build customer trust by guaranteeing that their sensitive payment information is handled with the highest level of security and care.

Not only does it instil confidence in customers, but it also boosts Tanmeyah's credibility with regulators and partners, positioning Tanmeyah as a leader in secure financial services in the region. It will also help reduce operational costs and mitigate the risk of data breaches.

Kareem El Sakka, Technology Director at Tanmeyah, said: “We are proud to have achieved the PCI DSS certification. This underscores our dedication to securing sensitive payment data and ensuring our customers trust our systems. In today’s digital age, data security is non-negotiable.

“At Tanmeyah, trust is the foundation of our relationship with clients, and safeguarding their data is our top priority.

“Achieving the PCI DSS certification is a clear testament to the robust infrastructure we’ve built to prevent unauthorized access and cyber security threats.

“Moreover, this achievement paves the way for certifications such as ISO 27001, bolstering our commitment to data protection and security.”

The PCI DSS certification is a globally recognised standard for all entities that process, store, or transmit cardholder information.

It is a globally recognised security standard established by major payment card brands to safeguard sensitive cardholder and authentication data.

This certification is crucial for businesses that process, store, or transmit payment data, as it significantly enhances protection against data breaches, minimising the risk of costly non-compliance penalties.

Achieving PCI DSS certification not only streamlines security practices but also reduces the complexity and scope of compliance audits.

Moreover, it instils greater confidence among customers, reinforcing trust in organisations’ ability to secure their sensitive information. – TradeArabia News Service
