Nowadays, the two-factor authentication is no longer an option, but a must – in the case of more than 80% of businesses. The good news is that PhoneFactor is constantly upgraded in order to comply with PCI Data Security Standards and requirements, HIPAA, FFIEC Guidelines and other such industry regulations.

The latest PhoneFactor improvement is the achievement of SA70 Certification which proves the adherence to the rigorous requirements set by Statement No. 70 on Auditing Standards. For the companies and organizations that operate in a compliant environment, the compliance with SAS70 is a necessity.

In some cases, in order to maintain compliance with the industry regulations like PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) the two-factor authentication is an important ingredient for rigorous security policies. The best available solution which combines ease of use with PCI standards compliance is PhoneFactor.

PhoneFactor and PCI compliance

Whether it is the holiday season or a normal business day, the customer’s data and your Linux server must be protected against the latest threats. Due to the fact that organizations and merchants must ensure cardholder data protection and security for customers’ credit card information, the PCI compliance is an important issue.

This is why PhoneFactor is a rapid, efficient and cost-effective method to fulfil all PCI compliance requirements and standards. In addition, PhoneFactor also adds more security thus preventing unauthorized access to credit card data and information on your Linux server.

Moreover, PhoneFactor can also be for a large number of employees and at worldwide level because there are no requirements for end users certificates, not security tokens.
