Baiduri Bank has successfully maintained its compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) Version 4.0.1, marking a 12th consecutive year of certification.

PCI-DSS is an internationally recognised standard for securing cardholder data and payment transactions. Version 4.0.1 introduces enhanced and more flexible requirements designed to address evolving cyber threats, support innovation, and promote continuous security improvement. Baiduri Bank’s continued compliance reflects its ability to scale digital services while meeting increasingly rigorous security expectations.

The certification was conducted by ControlCase, a Qualified Security Assessor accredited by the PCI Security Standards Council, following a comprehensive assessment of the Bank’s systems, processes, and controls. Key areas reviewed included internet banking, card issuance, ATM and POS operations, fraud monitoring, and access management.

Commenting on the achievement, Simon Hansmann, Chief Information Officer of Baiduri Bank, said: “As the Bank continues to enhance its digital platforms and support higher transaction volumes, security must evolve in step with growth. Maintaining PCI-DSS v4.0.1 certification reflects how we design and operate our systems — with security embedded from the outset to enable innovation, resilience, and customer confidence. This milestone underscores our focus on building digital capabilities that are both scalable and secure.”

The certification supports the Bank’s broader digital strategy, ensuring that new products, platforms, and payment solutions are underpinned by industry-leading security and governance standards. By aligning innovation with robust controls, the Bank continues to deliver secure and seamless banking experiences while protecting customer data.
